The Donmar Warehouse’s acclaimed production of Macbeth starring David Tennant is transferring in to the West End.
Directed by Max Webster (Life of Pi, Minority Report), the production will play the Harold Pinter Theatre in London from 1 October until 14 December 2024.
Stage and screen star David Tennant (Doctor Who, Broadchurch) stars as Macbeth, alongside Cush Jumbo (The Good Wife) as Lady MacBeth .
Tenant already confirmed the Macbeth transfer a few months ago, telling Zoe Ball on her Radio 2 Breakfast show that, “I think we might be doing another little run later in the year.”
A unique aspect of the production is that sophisticated Binaural sound technology is used, which the audience experiences by wearing headphones. Watch an interview with Macbeth’s sound designer Gareth Fry to find out more.
The production ran at the Donmar from December 2023 to February 2024 and enjoyed some great reviews from the critics, including five-stars from the Guardian, Telegraph and Financial Times.
