Macbeth: Ralph Fiennes & Indira Varma
150 mins
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.
It’s staged like never before and screened from Dock X, a custom-built theatre space in London. This critically acclaimed staging 'quickens the pulse, then goes for the jugular’ (★★★★ Financial Times). It is unmissable on the big screen.
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. Once you cross the line, you can never turn back.
This cinematic and ‘beautifully staged’ (★★★★ WhatsOnStage) production brings ‘Shakespeare’s tragedy pulsing into the present day’ (★★★★★ The I).
Directed by Simon Godwin (Antony & Cleopatra, Romeo & Juliet, Hansard) with set and costume design by Frankie Bradshaw (Jerusalem, Blues for an Alabama Sky).
