    Designed as an exciting and immersive learning tool for students, Macbeth is performed by our professional acting company in five action-packed episodes, complete with cinematic score and soundscape. Read along with the text as you listen, get entangled in Shakespeare's bloody, murderous plot, and discover why Macbeth is still one of the greatest tragedies ever written. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
