Arguably Macbeth is one of the finest plays by William Shakespeare, it has been performed nearly all over the world and many times in the city of Liverpool.  However, it has to be said, never, ever, like this and for that it became one of the most spellbinding and startling productions of any of the bards works to have ever been devised.

There is almost no comparison for many fans and scholars of Shakespeare’s volume of work, aside perhaps the essential Hamlet and arguably the scale of Julius Caesar, nothing can touch the suspense and drama of Macbeth. Perhaps because of its close relationship to the darkness in the soul of the ambitious, the craving of being proclaimed the finest, the best and knowing your fate before it is time, that marks it as a play in which to be immersed within.

There are moments when going to the cinema should be a true joy to behold. The merging of both the cinematic experience and theatre portrayed as a guiding light of how to bring out the very best from arguably England’s greatest playwright.
