Macbeth Descends

A modern, stylized interpretation of William Shakespeare's Macbeth. The film follows the last minutes of Macbeth's descent into darkness as he is seduced by Lady Macbeth and the Wayward Sisters (3 witches) into murdering his King and taking the throne for himself. His commitment to this act of treason begins his fall into madness and ultimate demise.
