Summaries

In a modern retelling of Macbeth set within the early days of the nationwide lockdown, the Weird Sisters must find a way to use their magic on the unsuspecting man while trapped within the confines of quarantine and video calls.

Set within the beginning of lockdown, the Weird Sisters, over video conferences, make their plans to begin their plots involving Macbeth. Enticing him with promises of fortune telling, the witches begin their spells over Zoom chats and their cauldrons on their knees, but when their High Priestess Hecate finds out what they're up to, things begin to get much more serious. As the witches balance their own quarantine issues (Aradia might be able to find the thumb of a pilot lost at sea on ebay, but Lilith is ready to curse an entire household over the lack of toilet roll) and Banquo finds social distancing doesn't protect him from a hit on his life, it becomes clear that the reason Macbeth's life has taken such a dark turn is all the consequences of his own actions, and the Weird Sisters have a hidden ulterior motive to their spells.
