National Theatre Live: Macbeth

2024 · 154 min

A stark, intimate stage production that feels like watching a slow, inevitable descent into blood-soaked paranoia.

Overview: Blood will have blood. Unbridled ambition, supernatural forces, and murderous desires reign supreme in Shakespeare's most poetic examination of evil. When three witches tell Macbeth that he will become King of Scotland, he plots with his wife to attain the title through an assassination; a bloody act that gives him his crown and sends him careening down the path of his own undoing.
How it feels: Dark, bleak, tense and eerie. Measured and demanding.
About: Ambition, power, guilt, fate
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
