David Tennant (Macbeth) kneels over a bowl, with a knife in his hand

About Macbeth

David Tennant and Cush Jumbo lead a stellar cast in an enthralling new production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, filmed live at the Donmar Warehouse in London.

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?

Please note: the screening on Sunday 9th February includes subtitles (dialogue only).
