Join Scottish author and historian Allan Burnett to find out more about Macbeth, Scotland’s infamous king, and his wife, Lady Macbeth. Their life story was turned into a classic play by William Shakespeare filled with magic, murder and mayhem.
How much do we really know about Macbeth, and how can we separate the fact from the fiction?
Find out why the truth is very different from the way Shakespeare told it!
Allan Burnett is the author of ‘Macbeth and All That’ (Birlinn, 2007).
