About this Event
Donmar Warehouse: Macbeth
WITH OPEN CAPTION SUBTITLES
‘A compellingly ritualistic production. David Tennant is simply hypnotic – his blood-spattered usurper more than lives up to expectations.’ The Times
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?
? ‘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
? ‘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. Cush Jumbo is terrific throughout, at once thoughtful and heartless.’ Daily Telegraph
? ‘David Tennant thrills in a production full of wolfish imagination and alarming surprise. Cool, cocky and utterly arresting’ Guardian
