The Tragedy of Macbeth
We were delighted to previously screen this film but we have no current plans to screen it again. If you'd like to watch it in the cinema, consider a private hire to watch it with friends. That does rely on the film being available for private purchase.

| Showings |
A Scottish lord becomes convinced by a trio of witches that he will become the next King of Scotland, and his ambitious wife supports him in his plans of seizing power.
It’s stage-bound in all the right ways, reminiscent of a much earlier cinema, when film makers barely stepped outdoors and wielded magic with shadow and light on soundstages. It’s short, sharp and savage.
★★★★★
Combines the sparseness of a late career work with the back-to-basics energy of a veteran filmmaker starting a new chapter of their career, and returning to the primordial ooze that inspired it in the first place
★★★★
A “Macbeth” that is sure to seduce audiences – one that, for all its darkness of import, is light-spirited, fleet, and intoxicating.
