Minor: Slavery, Police brutality, Sexual assault, Cursing, Death of parent, Fire/Fire injury, Rape, Sexual harassment, and Sexual violence

Some content warnings not to be taken literally, due to the time period the play is set in. Example: "police brutality" adjacent to atrocities the knights committed (specifically against Macduff's family).
