Macbeth has one of the scariest first scenes of any play.
It is dark, there is thunder and lightning, and out of a heavy mist three unrecognisable figures emerge.
They are three witches, standing around a cauldron, making spells and planning to meet the generals Macbeth and Banquo who have just completed a bloody victory over an army invading Scotland.
