Macbeth is a famously cursed play, fraught with gruesome
violence and supernatural evil. Some of Kate Stanley's
friends question her choosing to direct its production for
the 400th anniversary of its first performance, but Kate's
expertise in the little-known secrets and obscure mysteries
of Shakespeare make her a natural. However, bizarre ritual objects begin to turn up at
rehearsals, and it becomes clear someone is using the
production to send a message in the form of very dark
ancient magic. The cast is unnerved both by the gruesome
pranks and the historical creepiness of this play, and
consider abandoning the production. But a local young boy,
the namesake of the 17th-century actor who first played the
role of Lady Macbeth, is abducted, and the puzzling ransom
notes make the boy's survival dependent upon making the play
happen. As opening night approaches, Kate digs deep into the obscure
and magical allusions in Macbeth, and draws on all her skill
and knowledge of occult Shakespeare to decipher the ransom
note riddles and save the kidnapped boy.
