Trailer 2 for Much Ado About Nothing

The final chapter in our epic retelling of Shakespeare's classic.  Lady Macbeth descends into madness.  Mr. Macbeth starts breaking stuff, and has some brutal swordfights.  Good thing he can't be harmed until Burnham Woods comes to Dunsinane, right?  Cuz that'll never happen...

When seeking comfort and counsel, who does Macbeth turn to? Witches, of course. They're sure to tell him like it is. Meanwhile, MacDuff's suspicion's are confirmed.  And he squeezes a locket really hard.
