MACBETH

ALL HAIL, MACBETH.

David Tennant and Cush Jumbo return to their landmark performances in Shakespeare’s most extraordinary psychological drama.

Unsettling intimacy and brutal action combine at breakneck speed as Max Webster directs the tale of love, murder, and nature’s power of renewal.  Groundbreaking sound design and live Celtic folk music (all played through lightweight headphones provided) immerse the audience in every whisper, cry and thought.

Featuring the original company of the sold out Donmar Warehouse season, this unforgettable staging played a strictly limited run at London’s Harold Pinter Theatre.

Winner of 3 WhatsOnstage Awards

★★★★★ ‘David Tennant is tremendous and superbly partnered by Cush Jumbo.  The rich aural concept emphasises the eerie brilliance of Shakespeare’s dark, image-laden text.' Financial Times
