Hi Janet
All your answers are correct in my opinion, I'm Guessing Macbeth too, found
this

HTH
Big JAke

Date first performed
It is believed that Macbeth was first performed between 1605 and 1606. In
this era there was a huge demand for new entertainment and the drama would
have been produced immediately following the completion of the play.
Shakespeare knew that a play featuring witches would attract theatregoers
and increase his audience and revenue. He would also have been aware that
King James I was extremely interested in witches and sorcery, having written
a book called Daemonologie (Demonology) describing the demonic rites of
witches. Shakespeare really could not lose with Macbeth when it was
performed in 1605, two years after James acceded to the throne of England.
