Macbeth is Shakespeare's famous tragedy of a Scottish king who attains the throne by murder.
Bibliographic notesAs with Shakespeare's other plays, there is no "original" manuscript or author-supervised publication of Macbeth. The earliest publication of the play known to exist is the First Folio of 1623, published seven years after Shakespeare's death. Subsequent editions of the play are largely based on this edition.
