Macbeth
Macbeth is the bravest general in Scotland, and a loyal servant to King Duncan. But then three witches plant the seed of criminal ambition by suggesting that one day he could be king himself. Mad with ambition, and spurred on by Lady Macbeth, Macbeth sets out on a killing spree of former friends and rivals as part of a bloody path to power, until a final confrontation when he realizes too late that the witches have deceived him.

Hamlet
One dark night, Hamlet, prince of Denmark, sees a ghost. It is his dead father, who claims he was murdered by Claudius, the new king. But did Hamlet really see a ghost, or did he just imagine it? And if he did see a ghost, was it telling him the truth? Hamlet plans to avenge his father by killing Claudius. But the man he stabs isn't Claudius, as he thinks, but his girlfriend's father. So the wrong man dies. So much tragedy, but there is more to come as Hamlet's apparent insanity soon begins to wreak havoc on innocent and guilty alike.
