Delve into your inner darkness with Macbeth, which comes straight from National Theatre Live at Cinema Nouveau from 9 June 2018. This modern-day take on Shakespeare’s tragedy of moral decline is part of the NT Live’s 2018 season.
Elemental darkness
In the ruined aftermath of a bloody civil war, ruthlessly fighting to survive, the Macbeths are propelled towards the crown by forces of elemental darkness.
Intense and terrifying, this new production was filmed live at the National Theatre in London, directed by the NT’s artistic director Rufus Norris. Double Olivier award-winner Rory Kinnear plays Macbeth (Othello, Skyfall), and Olivier and BAFTA nominee Anne-Marie Duff plays Lady Macbeth (Suffragette, Shameless).
