A new production of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, starring Ralph Fiennes and Indira Varma, will be shown at select movie theaters across the United States this month, starting today.

Compared to “Succession in a war zone,” the production is currently having a sold-out run staged by the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington D.C. through May 5. It is designed for a custom-built space.

Filmed live at Dock X in London especially for cinemas, the production is being shown in U.S. movie theaters by Trafalgar Releasing, in partnership with Wessex Grove and Underbelly.

Tickets are available now at MacbethInCinemas.com, where full information about local movie theaters can be found.

By the end of its original run in London and later in Liverpool and Edinburgh, Macbeth will have played to sell-out audiences of over 100,000 people at 110 performances.

Fiennes (Antony & Cleopatra, Schindler's List, Coriolanus) is a Tony and BAFTA winner, while Varma (Present Laughter, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luther) is an Olivier Award-winner.

The production is directed by Simon Godwin, with set and costume design by Frankie Bradshaw.
