Chris Klimek previews a tour-de-force production of "Macbeth" at Shakespeare Theatre Company, featuring A-list actors of stage and screen Ralph Fiennes and Indira Varma.
You probably know Macbeth is the tale of a warlord who receives a prophecy from three weird sisters that he will become king of Scotland. With a lot of encouragement from his equally power hungry spouse, he then resorts to a series of murders to claim the crown, planting the seeds of his own destruction. The list of movie stars who've played the mad wannabe monarch on screen includes Orson Welles, Toshiro Mifune, Michael Fassbender, and Denzel Washington.
Now you can see the great Ralph Fiennes and Indira Varma in the leading roles. The Shakespeare Theatre Company production is already a hot ticket in Washington DC, so act fast!
