Brand-new production of one of Shakespeare’s most famous tragedies

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 and can be seen at the Torch Theatre this February and March.

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?

Having been played to sold-out houses in the West End, this production has been filmed especially for cinemas, with multiple camera angles and close-ups. As a GCSE Syllabus text, this ground-breaking production (rated 12A) is a perfect accessible introduction to Shakespeare’s work. 

‘David Tennant is simply hypnotic’ (★★★★ The Times), playing the role of Macbeth for the first time while Cush Jumbo is ‘remarkably compelling’ (★★★★ Theatre Weekly) as Lady Macbeth, following her critically celebrated performances in Hamlet and Julius Ceasar.

Macbeth: David Tennant & Cush Jumbo will be screened at the Torch Theatre on Sunday 9 February at 2pm and Saturday 1 March at 7pm. Ticket prices: Adult: £15. Concession: £13 and Under 26: £8.50. Rated: 12A. For tickets phone the Box Office on 01646 695267 or click here.
