1. Macbeth - Tyrant or Treasure?

Was the legendary Macbeth a murdering monster, bloody tyrant and paranoid thief of the throne?

Or was he a generous and popular king who ruled a happy Scotland for 17 years?

If you think you know all about him, then think again.

The real Macbeth comes back to life to help sort fact from the more familiar Shakespearean fiction.

Liam Brennan stars as Macbeth.

With members of The National Theatre of Scotland:

Fiona Watson
Alex Woolf

Produced at BBC Scotland by Pennie Latin.
