Tony and BAFTA Award winner Ralph Fiennes and Olivier Award winner Indira Varma star in a brand-new 'full-voltage visceral' (Daily Telegraph) production of William Shakespeare's Macbeth. Filmed live at Dock X, a custom-built theatre space in London, this critically acclaimed staging of Macbeth 'that quickens the pulse, then goes for the jugular' (Financial Times) will be unmissable on the big screen. Directed by Simon Godwin with set and costume design by Frankie Bradshaw (Jerusalem, Blues for an Alabama Sky), this is a cinematic and 'beautifully staged' (WhatsOnStage) production that brings 'Shakespeare's tragedy pulsing into the present day' (The I). Macbeth is coming. A couple corrupted by their relentless lust for power have blood on their hands. Witness the gripping tale of greed, murder, deception, and superstition in cinemas for a limited time only. Once you cross the line, you can never turn back.

Noah Berlatsky Chicago Reader If you’re looking for breathtaking effects and stagecraft, you’ll probably want to pass. If you want to see Ralph Fiennes give a definitive portrait of the tyrant as coward, you’ve come to the right moor. Apr 25, 2024 Full Review Jim Schembri jimschembri.com A masterful rendering...Ralph Fiennes and Indira Varma absolutely smash it as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, with Varma putting a distinctive edge to her portrayal of one of the most magnificently manipulative bitches ever conceived. Rated: 3.5/5 May 2, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
