In the darkness, three witches whisper… “Hail Macbeth! He who shall be king!” Sweet yet bitter, thrilling yet agonizing—the witches’ prophecy sets Macbeth on a path where fair and foul become one and the same.

But for now, grab a handful of popcorn and chant the spell with us: “Fair is foul, and foul is fair!”
