Beautiful rare TV play starring Michael Jayston, Barbara Leigh-Hunt, Brian Badcoe, Ralph Nossek, Tim Hardy. This is Shakespeare's Macbeth, true to his text and plot, with great performances. Macbeth, the Thane of Glamis, receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife, Macbeth murders his king and takes the throne for himself.
