	Shakespeare's Macbeth
		The "real" Macbeth ascended the throne of Scotland after defeating King Duncan in battle, not by murdering him in his sleep as depicted in the drama.
		The historic Duncan is not the wise and gentle aging ruler Shakespeare portrays but a weak king, whose youthful arrogance causes him to violate the laws of succession by naming his young son to the throne without first consulting the nobles or thanes.
		Furthermore, Lady Macbeth, who is a formidable character in the drama, is barely mentioned in Holinshed's Chronicles, Shakespeare's source for this work as well as many of his historical plays.

		Set in a fictionalised Scotland in the 1970s, the play is driven by an intriguingly sceptical approach to the character of Malcolm.
