Publisher's summary

William Shakespeare's shortest - but perhaps most popular - tragedy features a man who will do anything to fulfill a prophecy that will lead him to become the King of Scotland. Fresh from battle, Macbeth and his companion Banquo come across three witches who tell of great power that is in store for Macbeth. Driven by their prophecy and aided by his wife, Macbeth sets out on a journey that is wrought with deceit, murder, and suffering to acquire the throne of Scotland. At each and every turn, Macbeth must make choices that alter the trajectory of not only his life but every life around him, as he begins to fall mad with greed.

This multi-voice production of The Tragedy of Macbeth features an all-star cast under the direction of acclaimed producer Paul Alan Ruben, a Grammy Award-winning veteran of the audiobook industry. With five AudioFile magazine Golden Voice recipients, multiple Grammy and SOVAS nominations, and countless Earphones and Audie Awards, this phenomenal cast brings Shakespeare's work to life.

Great play, lousy performance.

DO NOT BUY THIS. The actors don't seem to know what they're saying, and, indeed, how could they, when a line containing the subject of a sentence, like "This supernatural soliciting," is left out and they pick up with the verb "cannot be ill, cannot be good?" No, it's ill, all right—you just lost the play! Passages that merely convey information are read with great passion, while the most powerful lines lose all their poetry, not to mention their very sense. Why are you still reading this review? Move on to the next option.
