The Donmar Warehouse production of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, which officially opened at the London venue December 15 following previews that began December 8, will be screened in cinemas across the U.K., U.S., and Australia as well as select international territories beginning February 5, 2025.

Trafalgar Releasing, in partnership with the Donmar Warehouse, is presenting the cinema release. Tickets will go on sale October 16 at MacbethDonmarCinema.com.

David Tennant (Lobby Hero, Good, Doctor Who) stars in the title role with Cush Jumbo (Hamlet, The Good Fight) as Lady Macbeth. Max Webster directs. The production, which continues through February 10, 2024, was filmed live for the upcoming cinema release.

Donmar Warehouse Artistic Director Tim Sheader and Executive Director Henny Finch said in a joint statement, “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.” 

The Scottish play also features Moyo Akandé as Ross, Annie Grace as Musician and Gentlewoman, Brian James O’Sullivan as Donalbain/Soldier/Murderer and Musician, Casper Knopf as Macduff's Son/Fleance/Young Siward, Cal MacAninch as Banquo, Kathleen MacInnes as The Singer and ensemble, Alasdair Macrae as Musician and ensemble, Rona Morison as Lady Macduff, Noof Ousellam as Macduff, Raffi Phillips as Macduff's Son/Fleance/Young Siward, Jatinder Singh Randhawa as The Porter/Seytan, Ros Watt as Malcolm, and Benny Young as Duncan/Doctor.

The production uses binaural technology to create a 3D sound world, which the audience experiences through headphones, placing them inside the head of the central couple. Director Webster collaborated with sound designer Gareth Fry, who previously used binaural sound for Complicité’s The Encounter.

Live music comes from an onstage Scottish folk band led by composer and musical director Alasdair Macrae and featuring Gaelic singer Kathleen MacInnes. 

The creative team also includes designer Rosanna Vize, lighting designer Bruno Poet, movement director Shelley Maxwell, fight directors Rachel Bown-Williams and Ruth Cooper-Brown of RC-Annie Ltd., and casting director Anna Cooper.
