Shakespeare's Macbeth is a violent and disturbing play. This stage adaptation contains some of the same disturbing elements. In this case, two high school seniors are plotting murder. Elizabeth, through the urging of her best friend Mackenzie and the supernatural intervention of three restaurant servers, gives into 'vaulting ambition' and surrenders to her bloodiest impulses. Like the classic play by Shakespeare that inspired this story, it includes witchcraft and 'prophesy'.
