This story makes Shakespeare's world-famous play accessible to everyone in Charles and Mary Lamb's acclaimed prose form. Ideal as a study aid for students, or as an introduction to the play's plot for any listener. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth plot to seat Macbeth as the king of Scotland, both of them knowing that they will have to get their hands very dirty along the way to reach the top. Mission accomplished, both Macbeth and his wife are nagged by their own consciences and ghostly visions, as the story draws to its inevitable conclusions. One of Shakespeare's most-loved plays is given a new lease of life on audio.
