Donmar Warehouse’s MACBETH with David Tennant and Cush Jumbo transfers to West End

It has been announced that the Donmar Warehouse’s critically acclaimed production of Macbeth, starring David Tennant and Cush Jumbo, will transfer to the West End, playing at the Harold Pinter Theatre from 1 October-14 December.

Producers said: “On Shakespeare’s birthday, we are thrilled to announce the West End transfer of the Donmar Warehouse’s critically acclaimed production of Macbeth, with the original company, led by David Tennant and Cush Jumbo reuniting for the run. Having played to capacity houses at the Donmar, it’s wonderful to be able to share this fabulous production with a wider audience, with a third of the tickets for every performance at £35 or under.”

Joining Tennant and Jumbo are the full original Donmar Warehouse company - Moyo Akandé as Ross, Annie Grace as Musician & Gentlewoman, Brian James O’Sullivan as Donalbain/Soldier/Murderer & Musician, Casper Knopf as Macduff's Son/Fleance/Young Siward, Cal MacAninch as Banquo, Kathleen MacInnes as The Singer & ensemble, Alasdair Macrae as Musician & ensemble, Rona Morison as Lady Macduff, Noof Ousellam as Macduff, Raffi Phillips as Macduff's Son/Fleance/Young Siward, Jatinder Singh Randhawa as The Porter/Seytan, Ros Watt as Malcolm, and Benny Young as Duncan/Doctor.

This production of Macbeth uses binaural technology to create a 3D sound world, which the audience will experience through wearing headphones, placing them right inside the head of the central couple. Director Max Webster collaborates with sound designer Gareth Fry, who previously used binaural sound for Complicité’s multi-award-winning production The Encounter. Live music comes from an onstage Scottish folk band lead by Alasdair Macrae and featuring award-winning Gaelic singer Kathleen MacInnes.

The production is designed by Rosanna Vize, with lighting by Bruno Poet, movement direction by Shelley Maxwell, composition & musical direction by Alasdair Macrae, and casting by Anna Cooper CDG.

Priority booking for Donmar supporters opens today, with public booking opening at 10am on 25 April here.
