Synopsis: Macbeth sells his soul to be king, eventually bringing the terrible consequences of his actions upon himself. With such scenes as the three witches' "Double, double toil and trouble"; Lady MacBeth's "Out, damn spot"; and dinner with Banquo's ghost.
Reviews
NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW:
"What makes this one a must-see is Mr. Stewart’s thrilling recognition that his character is as close kin to the fatally introspective Hamlet as he is to power-wielding men of ill will like Richard III. His performance is the first I have seen to realize completely what the scholar Harold Bloom means when he calls this play “a tragedy of the imagination.”"

USA TODAY REVIEW:
"Overstated but fascinating. Stewart looks as lean and spry as a decathlete. He's an older Macbeth, certainly, but a well-preserved one."

VARIETY REVIEW:
"One of the qualities that resonates most unexpectedly in Patrick Stewart's interpretation of the butchering tyrant is the mental frailty of a man overpowered and undone by his own ruthless ambition. Exactly how well Stewart is served by the blood-soaked flamboyance of Rupert Goold's overburdened production will be a matter of taste, but the rising-star Brit director's "Macbeth" is as cinematic as it is boldly theatrical. It may not always elucidate the plot or characters to best advantage but it sure keeps you glued."

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS REVIEW:
"The production clocks in at three hours and does lose momentum on occasion. Musical interludes are padding without payoffs. The rap-style cauldron scene borders on silly. Sometimes Goold's ambition got the better of him. Patrick Stewart speaking is music enough."

THE NEW YORK POST REVIEW:
"Not since Roman Polanski's film ver sion has there been as visceral a "Macbeth" as this acclaimed British production starring Patrick Stewart."

THEATERMANIA REVIEW:
"Rupert Goold's eye-popping and ear-catching take on Shakespeare's tragedy is a must-see event."
