Macbeth

Gielgud Theatre, London 24th September to 1st December 2007

By William Shakespeare

An anatomy of the relationship between ambition and corruption, Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's most bloody and fear-filled tragedies.

Rupert Goold, who recently directed Patrick Stewart in the Royal Shakespeare Company's acclaimed production of The Tempest, now directs Stewart as Macbeth, the man who murders king and comrade in his quest for the crown, only to lose it all.

Audience's reviews:

Visually harrassing and dark from the start, with excellent performances from the leads and supporting cast. A production with depth and conviction in its vision. I would not hesitate to recommend to all. L. Evans (28) London
