Unsettling intimacy and brutal action combine at breakneck speed as Max Webster directs the tale of love, murder, and nature’s power of renewal. Groundbreaking sound design and live Celtic folk music (all played through lightweight headphones provided) immerse the audience in every whisper, cry and thought.

Featuring the original company of the sold out Donmar Warehouse season, this unforgettable staging will now play a strictly limited run at London’s Harold Pinter Theatre from 1 October 2024.

I emerged after two hours utterly exhilarated: it was the finest, most magnetic Macbeth I’d ever seen, and the headphones proved thrillingly integral to so internal a play

What the critics say

David Tennant is tremendous and superbly partnered by Cush Jumbo. The rich aural concept emphasises the eerie brilliance of Shakespeare’s dark, image-laden text.

- Financial Times

An act of risk-taking theatre that also feels darkly, magically, like real-life. It’s as if the play is being discovered for the first time.

- Daily Telegraph

David Tennant thrills in a production full of wolfish imagination and alarming surprise. Cool, cocky and utterly arresting.

The Harold Pinter Theatre opened in 1881 as the Royal Comedy Theatre and staged hugely successful shows, such as The Rocky Horror Show’s West End debut. The name changed in 2011 to The Harold Pinter Theatre in honour of Pinter’s work for the Comedy Theatre.

The theatre recently produced Pinter at the Pinter, a series of one-act plays in celebration of Pinter himself.
