Three mediums gather in an old house to host a séance; evoking spirits of the dead to perform for them in a profane ritual, foretelling warnings of the past and future, of a ‘Butcher and his fiend-like Queen.’ Of Macbeth. As The Witches manipulate the ghosts like marionettes, a story of ambition, revenge, and madness unfolds. A prophecy promised to Macbeth causes him and his wife to spiral into wickedness. As the Macbeths both slowly transform into monsters of their own ambition, rival forces within the Scottish court make moves to retake the throne – will they be better than what came before?
⚠️ Content warnings: violence (murder), blood and injury, implied suicide.
