Trafalgar Releasing, in partnership with the Donmar Warehouse, have announced the cinema release of Macbeth, starring David Tennant and Cush Jumbo which is currently playing to sold out houses in the West End. The production will be screened in cinemas across the UK, US, Australia and selected international territories from 5 February 2025.
The Donmar Warehouse’s Artistic Director Tim Sheader and Executive Director Henny Finch said: “We are delighted that our innovative production of Macbeth will continue to reach new audiences beyond the original run at the Donmar and in the West End. It's so exciting to think that thousands of global audiences will now get to experience this brilliant cast and the intimacy of the Donmar in their local cinema.”
David Tennant (Doctor Who, Broadchurch) and Cush Jumbo (The Good Wife, Criminal Record) lead a stellar cast in an “enthralling” (★★★★★ Daily Telegraph) new production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, filmed live at the Donmar Warehouse in London, especially for the big screen. Unsettling intimacy and brutal action combine at breakneck speed as Max Webster directs this tragic tale of love, murder, and nature’s power of renewal. With staging “full of wolfish imagination and alarming surprise” (★★★★★ The Guardian), the immersive 5.1 cinema surround sound places the audience inside the minds of the Macbeths, asking are we ever really responsible for our actions?
The cast also includes Moyo Akandé (The Special Relationship, Soho Theatre) as Ross, Annie Grace (Macbeth, RSC) as Musician and Gentlewoman, Brian James O’Sullivan (Maw Goose, Macrobert Arts Centre) as Donalbain/Soldier/Murderer and Musician, Casper Knopf (professional stage debut) as Macduff's Son/Fleance/Young Siward, Cal MacAninch (The Judas Kiss, BAM/Ed Mirvish Theatre/Hampstead Theatre/West End) as Banquo, Scottish singer and actress Kathleen Macinnes as The Singer and ensemble, Alasdair Macrae (Macbeth, RSC) as Musician and ensemble, Rona Morison (The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, Donmar Warehouse) as Lady Macduff, Noof Ousellam (Baghdaddy, Royal Court Theatre) as Macduff, Raffi Phillips (Winnie the Pooh, UK tour) as Macduff's Son/Fleance/Young Siward, Jatinder Singh Randhawa (Moorcroft, Tron Theatre/National Theatre of Scotland) as The Porter/Seytan, Ros Watt (Dracula: Mina’s Reckoning, National Theatre of Scotland) as Malcolm, and Benny Young (Be Near Me, Donmar Warehouse) as Duncan/The Doctor.
