What is Macbeth about?

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.

Watch Tony and BAFTA Award winner Ralph Fiennes as Macbeth (Antony & Cleopatra, Schindler's List, Coriolanus) and Olivier Award winner Indira Varma (Present Laughter, Game of Thrones, Luther) as they star in a brand-new ‘full-voltage visceral’ (★★★★ Daily Telegraph) production of William Shakespeare’s classic play. 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) is now streaming.

Directed by Simon Godwin(Antony & Cleopatra, Romeo & Juliet, Hansard) and adapted by Emily Burns with set and costume design by Frankie Bradshaw(Jerusalem, Blues for an Alabama Skys) this is a cinematic and ‘beautifully staged’ (★★★★ WhatsOnStage) production that brings ‘Shakespeare’s tragedy pulsing into the present day’ (★★★★★ The I).
