Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5 - Part 6 - Part 7 - Part 8 -

Dunsinane Castle. Lady Macbeth is reading a letter from her husband. Her ambition for Macbeth is clear, but so too her concern that he is not sufficiently ruthless to take matters into his own hands.

Macbeth arrives and Lady Macbeth makes it clear she wants him to kill King Duncan that night.

At the banquet in the evening Macbeth is reluctant to take the plan forward but is persuaded to see it through by Lady Macbeth. Later, on the castle walls, Macbeth has a vision of a bloodied dagger. It is time to do the deed.

Lady Macbeth waits in her chamber for Macbeth to return from the murder. He arrives but brings the daggers with him. Lady Macbeth returns to King Duncan's room to leave the daggers there and to daub his servants with blood to make it look as if they are responsible.
