"This dramatization is hypnotic. The performances are first rate, and the sound quality is varied and nicely layered." —AudioFile

Seduced by the promises of witches and spurred by his wife, Macbeth lives by the law of ambition alone. Experience this haunting study of power that traces the rise and fall of an ambitious man.

About the Creative Director Clive Brill graduated from Oxford University and then joined the BBC where he worked for 12 years as director, producer, and commissioning editor. In 1996, he left the BBC to develop and direct the Arkangel Shakespeare project. He directed all 38 plays, which star many of today's finest actors. He is a co-director of Pacificus Productions in London, which produces drama across all media.

The Arkangel Complete Shakespeare is one of the most ambitious undertakings in recent recording history. All thirty-eight of Shakespeare's plays, uncut, fully-dramatized and accompanied by original music, are brought to life by the voices of many of the most distinguished actors presently performing in British Film and Theatre.
