‘Falls a little flat in pivotal places’: MACBETH – Barbican Theatre ★★★

In London theatre, Opinion, Plays, Reviews by Jonathan Baz31st October 2018Leave a Comment

This Macbeth should be an absolute blinder with such a strong and perfectly brooding lead… but unfortunately, the production falls a little flat in pivotal places.

‘A beautiful re-telling’: MACBETH – Barbican Theatre ★★★★

In London theatre, Opinion, Plays, Reviews by Olivia Mitchell30th October 2018Leave a Comment

Overall it is a beautiful re-telling of Macbeth, keeping true to the script but taking a twist on a unique element. Macbeth at the Barbican is not to be missed.

‘I was more interested in the background characters’: MACBETH – Barbican Theatre ★★★

In London theatre, Opinion, Plays, Reviews by Rev Stan27th October 2018Leave a Comment

‘Scattershot invention includes some effective touches’: MACBETH – Barbican Theatre

In London theatre, Opinion, Plays, Reviews by Tom Bolton24th October 2018Leave a Comment

In contrast to Rufus Norris’ Macbeth at the National, with Rory Kinnear and Anne-Marie Duff, the RSC’s current production is focused and direct. This ensures that it is more of a success, but also proves its weakness. Polly Findlay’s production is certainly the more coherent and features strong leads.

‘All in all a bloody, good, Macbeth’: MACBETH – Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford upon Avon ★★★★

In Opinion, Plays, Regional theatre, Reviews, Touring by Jonathan Baz22nd March 2018Leave a Comment

An imaginatively staged take on The Scottish Play which, in its leading roles, is stunningly performed. All in all a bloody, good, Macbeth.

‘Double, double, toil & – yes – trouble’: MACBETH – Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford upon Avon ★★★

In Opinion, Plays, Regional theatre, Reviews by Libby Purves21st March 2018Leave a Comment

Directors stop being scared of the Scottish Play and return to more reflective and respectful renderings. Meanwhile, the unfortunate A level set-book class of 2018 are at risk of associating it only with concrete, gaffer-tape, plastic dollies and carpet-sweepers.
