Distilled by witches whose sinister agenda is none other than the fall of the kingdom of Scotland, the slow poison of jealousy makes its way into the heart of a true anti-hero, driving him to commit the unthinkable for the sole purpose of securing a place on the throne.

In Ambre Kahan's production for this new staging, justice will be served at the same time as Nature reclaims its rights, purifying the moor and reducing the castle, the ultimate seat of power, to the state of a Gothic ruin.
