I see that in your production you have cast Macbeth with a woman. That's interesting. (otherwise you must say "he says" not "she says")
The quotation you are referring to is:
If thou speak'st false,
Upon the next tree shalt thou hang alive,
Till famine cling thee: if thy speech be sooth,
I care not if thou dost for me as much.
I pull in resolution, and begin
To doubt the equivocation of the fiend
That lies like truth: 'Fear not, till Birnam wood
Do come to Dunsinane:' and now a wood
Comes toward Dunsinane.
He's speaking to a messenger who has just told him that Birnam wood is coming to Dunsinane, an event about which he said, earlier in the play, "That can never be!" As the passage clearly shows, he says that if the messenger is telling the truth, he cannot rely on the prophecy "fear not, till Birnam wood do come to Dunsinane", because it is "equivocation"--it seems to say one thing and means another. And who is the "fiend that lies like truth"? You'll need three guesses because there were three of them around that cauldron.

well many say that calling it Macbeth is bad luck so it is commonly known as "The Scottish Play!" hope that helps!
How to attack this question: First find the meaning of fiend(preferably what it means during the times of Shakespeare). Fiend according to the dictionary is evil or devil. So is she an evil-like queen or an evil queen. I would say yes because if plotting murder on the innocent is not evil then what is? So find a passage in the text that will support your answer.
A servant tells him that Birnam Forest is moving toward Dunsinane. Macbeth says, "I pull in resolution and begin to doubt the equivocation of the fiend that lies like truth. 'Fear not till Birnam Wood do come to Dunsinane', and now a wood do come to Dunsinane." One of the things that he thought never could happen has happened, because the prophecies are equivocal.

In "Macbeth," the term "fiend" is not used to refer directly to a specific character. However, some characters in the play, like the witches or Lady Macbeth, are often associated with evil or demonic traits that could be likened to a fiend.
Macbeth calls the messenger who told him the news a liar and is reminded of the prophecy. he says to ring the alarm bell and also prepares to fight and tells his men not to retreat - that if they die at least they'll die fighting
