Critically Acclaimed Production of Macbeth to be screened in Salisbury Cinemas

Monday, 13 January 2025 05:55

A cinema release of Macbeth, starring David Tennant and Cush Jumbo, which is currently playing to sold-out houses in the West End, has been announced and will be shown at Salisbury's Everyman and Odeon cinemas.

The production will be screened in the two cinemas in Salisbury from 5th February 2025.

David Tennant (Doctor Who, Broadchurch) and Cush Jumbo (The Good Wife, Criminal Record) lead a stellar cast in an ‘enthralling’ new production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, filmed live at the Donmar Warehouse in London, especially for the big screen. Unsettling intimacy and brutal action combine at breakneck speed as Max Webster (Life of Pi, Henry V) directs this tragic tale of love, murder, and nature’s power of renewal. With staging ‘full of wolfish imagination and alarming surprise’, the immersive 5.1 cinema surround sound places the audience inside the minds of the Macbeths, asking if we are ever really responsible for our actions.

The Donmar Warehouse’s Artistic Director Tim Sheader and Executive Director Henny Finch added, “We are delighted that our innovative production of Macbeth will continue to reach new audiences beyond the original run at the Donmar and in the West End. It's so exciting to think that thousands of global audiences will now get to experience this brilliant cast and the intimacy of the Donmar in their local cinema.”

Trafalgar Releasing’s CEO, Marc Allenby, commented, “It’s great to be working with the Donmar Warehouse once again to bring their sold-out production of Macbeth to cinema audiences both across the UK and globally. Theatre continues to be a significant driver of cinema box office revenue and is a priority genre for Trafalgar Releasing as we grow our wide-ranging portfolio of cultural content captured especially for the big screen.”
