Shakespeare's gripping and bloodthirsty tale of the forces of evil and the pitfalls of man's ambition stars Joseph Millson as the title role joined by Samantha Spiro as Lady Macbeth and Bette Bourne as the Porter in this Eve Best-directed production at the Globe. Informed by three witches of his destiny to occupy the throne of Scotland, Macbeth, urged on by his goading wife, sets the supernatural cogs of destiny whirring by murdering the virtuous King Duncan. But Macbeth must continue killing in a bid to save his position - first his old friend Banquo and then anyone who seems to threaten the paranoid and bloody tyrant - as the drama builds up to the last fulfilment of the witches' prophecy. Considered one of the Bard's darkest and most powerful tragedies, 'the Scottish play' is also one of Shakespeare's most popular.
About Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
This replica of the Shakespeare's 16th century theatre, reconstructed just 200 yards from its original site, is the brainchild of American actor and director Sam Wanamaker. Built in wood and thatch, using techniques from 400 years ago, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre opened in 1996. More about Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
