The play titled “Midday of Scotland” will premiere at Tehran’s Arghanun Theater on September 15.

“Macbeth” is the story of a Scottish general named Macbeth who is been told by some witches that one day he will become king of Scotland. Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife, he murders King Duncan and takes the Scottish throne for himself.
