David Tennant is returning to the role of Macbeth alongside Cush Jumbo and the original company that sold out its entire run at the Donmar Warehouse.
Shakespeare's tragic tale of power, paranoia, betrayal and murder examines how a thirst for glory can lead to evil taking root in the mind of a tyrant.
The story follows Macbeth's descent into madness as he plots to take the crown from the Scottish king, urged along by his scheming wife and the prophecies of three wicked witches. But just as he succeeds in seizing the throne from Duncan, demons from his past rise up and haunt him.
Will he be able to cling to the defiled crown... or will he fall prey to his soul-corroding guilt?
Groundbreaking sound and live folk music
Max Webster's groundbreaking sound design immerses the audience in every whisper, cry and thought by playing it through a pair of lightweight headphones, transporting the viewer into the minds of the antagonists through a 3D soundscape and some atmospheric Celtic folk music.
What the theatre critics say...
Financial Times: ★★★★★ "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"; Daily Telegraph: ★★★★★ "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"; The Guardian: ★★★★★ "David Tennant thrills in a production full of wolfish imagination and alarming surprise. Cool, cocky and utterly arresting"
