Dark and violent, Macbeth is also the most theatrically spectacular of Shakespeare''s tragedies. Indeed, for 250 years - until early this century - it was performed with grand operatic additions set to baroque music.In his introduction Nicholas Brooke relates the play''s chaning fortunes to changes within society and the theatre and investigates the sources of its enduring appeal.
