Macbeth

DOUBLE TROUBLE, TEnNANT AND JUMBO RETURN 

Prepare to be spellbound as David Tennant and Cush Jumbo return to the unsettling bubbling cauldron of love and murder in Macbeth. Following its five-star sold-out run at the Donmar Playhouse, which also saw Tennant receive an Olivier Nomination for Best Actor, this Shakespearean tragedy transfers to London's Harold Pinter this autumn. An unforgettable, psychological experience directed by Max Webster, you'll be immersed into every cry and thought that are deep inside the troubled minds of the Macbeths along with live Celtic folk music (lightweight headphones provided); leaving you asking the age old question, will the blood ever wash off his hands?

WHAT IS MACBETH ABOUT? 

Thought to have first been performed in 1606, you'll follow the journey of Scottish general Macbeth who receives a prophecy from three witches that one day he will rule all of Scotland. Consumed by the idea, Macbeth and his wife Lady Macbeth do whatever it takes to make the prophecy come true, even if that means blood on their hands. But of course, their actions have consequences and both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are driven into a state of madness. 

DID YOU KNOW?

Some people behind the curtains of the theatre believe that this play is cursed, and will not mention the title out loud. Instead, they refer to it as 'The Scottish Play'. If they do mention it, they have to go outside and spin around three times then knock on the stage door and ask to be let back in.
