Fearless and unforgettably creepy. This high-concept production, filmed live at London’s Donmar Warehouse, stars the formidable talents of David Tennant and Cush Jumbo in Shakespeare’s most infamous tragedy.

Tennant delivers a self-righteous warrior whose sharp intellect curdles into cold-blooded calculation. Seething with paranoia and insidious fury, he makes every soliloquy feel like a whispered confession, compelling us to hang on to his every word. Jumbo’s Lady Macbeth is steely yet soft-spoken, ruthless yet radiant. Draped in virginal white throughout, she exudes an eerie purity, even as she orchestrates a spiral of bloodshed.

Max Webster’s masterful direction grips relentlessly as the body count rises. Stark, filmic expressionism blurs reality and hallucination, while immersive 5.1 surround sound places the audience inside the fevered minds of the Macbeths. As their sanity crumbles, a chilling question remains: Where does ambition end and madness begin?
