The production will be on the big screen in February 2025.
David Tennant (Rivals) and Cush Jumbo (Criminal Record) have just opened at London’s Harold Pinter Theatre in Macbeth, reviving their sold out Donmar Warehouse production from earlier in the year.
The modern take on the Scottish play, directed by Max Webster, runs until December 14th, 2024.
However, as confirmed by What’s On Stage, the show will head promptly to a worldwide cinema release on February 5th, 2025.
While in the theatrical production, audiences wear headphones to follow the intimate nature of what’s occurring on stage, for the cinema version that feed will be part of the final mix. Here’s a taste of the action…
Joining Tennant’s Macbeth and Jumbo’s Lady Macbeth, the cast are Rob Alexander-Adams, Moyo Akandé, Annie Grace, Jasmin Hinds, Martyn Hodge, Brian James O’Sullivan, Casper Knopf, Gemma Laurie, Cal MacAninch, Kathleen MacInnes, Alasdair Macrae, Niall MacGregor, Rona Morison, Noof Ousellam, Raffi Phillips, Jatinder Singh Randhawa, Theo Wake, Ros Watt and Benny Young.
Macbeth is designed by Rosanna Vize, with lighting design by Bruno Poet, sound by Fry, movement by Shelley Maxwell, composition and musical direction by Macrae, fight direction by Rachel Bown-Williams and Ruth Cooper-Brown of Rc-Annie Ltd and casting direction by Anna Cooper.
