Macbeth is one of the shortest of Shakespeare's plays, which enables us to broadcast a nearly complete text, omitting only the two Hecat scenes (probably written by Middleton), and including what may well be the missing scene: it occurs in a 1664 Restoration adaptation of Macbeth by Shakespeare's 'godson' Sir William Davenant who based it on a playhouse prompt-copy.
