It has been announced that Max Webster’s production of Macbeth which ran at the Donmar Warehouse from the 8th December 2023 until 10th February this year, will head to the Harold Pinter Theatre for a limited season.
Playing at the West End Theatre from the 1st October until the 14th December 2024, the production’s cast will be led by David Tennant and Cush Jumbo as the Macbeths.
They will also be joined by the rest of the original of the Donmar Warehouse’s company who are: Moyo Akandé (Ross), Annie Grace (Musician & Gentlewoman), Brian James O’Sullivan (Donalbain/Soldier/Murderer & Musician), Casper Knopf (Macduff’s Son/Fleance/Young Siward), Cal MacAninch (Banquo), Kathleen MacInnes (The Singer & ensemble), Alasdair Macrae (Musician & ensemble), Rona Morison (Lady Macduff), Noof Ousellam (Macduff), Raffi Phillips (Macduff’s Son/Fleance/Young Siward), Jatinder Singh Randhawa (The Porter/Seytan), Ros Watt (Malcolm), and Benny Young (Duncan/Doctor).
This production of Shakespeare’s tragedy uses binaural technology to create a 3D sound world, which the audience will experience through wearing headphones, placing them right inside the head of the central couple.
Director Max Webster collaborates with sound designer Gareth Fry, who previously used binaural sound for Complicité’s multi-award-winning production The Encounter. Live music will come from an onstage Scottish folk band lead by Alasdair Macrae and featuring award-winning Gaelic singer Kathleen MacInnes. The creative team also includes: designer Rosanna Vize, lighting designer Bruno Poet, movement direction by Shelley Maxwell, composer Alasdair Macrae, fight directors Rachel Bown-Williams and Ruth Cooper-Brown of Rc-Annie Ltd and casting director Anna Cooper CDG.
