Round about the cauldron go;
In the poison'd entrails throw.
Toad, that under cold stone
Days and nights has thirty-one
Swelter'd venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i' the charmed pot.

There is a very good reason that folks are still talking about the Bard's work four hundred years after the man himself died. His stories, be they the comedies or the tragedies, touch on the deepest bones of the human condition; life and death, loyalty and betrayal, fear and hope. Though the English he wrote in is now no longer spoken the tales he wove (or stole) still resonate today.
Macbeth, for all that it is and was entertainment asks some very big questions about fate and freewill. The creeping terror of the main characters being driven mad by their greed driven actions could very well push any movie made on it well into the horror category. It inspired Tolkien in his creation of the Ents. Sitting down and reading the play might take some time but the world created here is well worth the effort. If you are a more visual type plays make excellent graphic novels and someone figured that out so you can indulge in a play on paper as well.
