Description

Shakespeare’s most intense tragedy explores the damaging physical and psychological effects of political ambition on those who seek power for its own sake.

Set in the ruined aftermath of a bloody civil war, in a ravaged world where everyone is ruthlessly fighting to survive. Here we meet the Macbeths, a couple propelled towards the crown by forces of elemental darkness.

Directed by the National Theatre’s Artistic Director Rufus Norris, this acclaimed production brings together two theatre legends — Rory Kinnear and Anne-Marie Duff — to play Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.

A universal story, “Macbeth” has been performed around the world since it was written in the 1600s.
