Macbeth- Ralph Fiennes

Click here to subscribe

Ralph Fiennes and Olivier Award winner Indira Varma star in a brand-new modern dress production of William Shakespeare’s shortest play. If you’re not familiar with Macbeth, it’s about a couple corrupted by their relentless lust for power, with blood on their hands, a gripping tale of greed, murder, deception, and superstition.

Filmed live at a custom-built theatre space in London, this critically acclaimed staging of Macbeth, writes the Financial Times, “quickens the pulse, then goes for the jugular’ and is now available on National Theatre at Home.

I often recommend National Theatre productions on Ruth Leon’s Theatrewise so I expect most of you already have subscriptions to this indispensable source of online plays. For those who don’t, there’s a new offer from the National of a 20% reduction in their annual subscription charge of £129.90. It’s the fourth anniversary of this invaluable online service and you can subscribe for this discount by entering the code BIRTHDAY4 when you sign up for www.ntathome.com.
