Excerpt from Stories of Shakespeare's Tragedies Act I. When the curtain rises we perceive a desert place, between the upper and under world, illuminated by weird lightning flashes, where three Witches suddenly appearing, exchange greetings, and decide to meet Macbeth upon the heath, after the battle is over.
