Macbeth: David Tennant & Cush Jumbo (Film)

★★★★★ ‘An act of risk-taking theatre that also feels darkly, magically, like real-life. It’s as if the play is being discovered for the first time.’ Daily Telegraph
 
David Tennant (Doctor Who, Broadchurch) and Cush Jumbo (The Good Wife, Criminal Record) lead a stellar cast in an ‘enthralling’ (★★★★★ Daily Telegraph) new production of Shakespeare’s MACBETH, filmed live at the Donmar Warehouse in London, especially for the big screen. Unsettling intimacy and brutal action combine at breakneck speed as Max Webster (Life of Pi, Henry V) directs this tragic tale of love, murder, and nature’s power of renewal. With staging ‘full of wolfish imagination and alarming surprise’ (★★★★★ The Guardian), the immersive 5.1 cinema surround sound places the audience inside the minds of the Macbeths, asking are we ever really responsible for our actions?
 
A critically acclaimed 5-star sell-out production of one of Shakespeare’s most famous tragedies.
Captured live at the Donmar Warehouse, London in January 2024, the film is powerful and absorbing, enhancing the emotion and intensity of the stage play on the big screen.
The groundbreaking binaural sound design has been adapted to create an immersive 5.1 cinema audio experience (no headphones required).
Transferring to the West End in October, the run at the Harold Pinter Theatre has already sold out – the cinema release is the only way to see this production.
