The acclaimed production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth starring starring David Tennant and Cush Jumbo recorded live at the Donmar Warehouse in London will be available to stream on global arts and culture streaming service Marquee TV from Tuesday 1 April.
This is the first time the production will be available for home viewing and will be available to stream exclusively on the platform in the UK, Republic of Ireland, United States of America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
Susannah Simons, Director of Performing Arts at Marquee TV, said: “We’re delighted to be able to bring this mesmerising production to Marquee TV. We’re proud to be home to some of the greatest Shakespearean performances of recent years and this production of Macbeth is certainly that – the wonderful pairing of David Tennant and Cush Jumbo thrilled audiences and critics alike both on stage and in cinemas, and we hope viewers at home enjoy it just as much.”
Directed by Max Webster, the production stars Tennant in the title role for the first time in his illustrious stage career, joined by Jumbo as Lady Macbeth.
Macbeth went on to win numerous awards, including three WhatsOnStage Awards – Best Play Revival, Best Performer in a Play (David Tennant, with Cush Jumbo also nominated) and Best Sound Design – and Tennant also received the Critics’ Circle Award for Best Shakespearean Performance. The production was also nominated for three Olivier Awards, including Best Revival, Best Actor (David Tennant) and Best Sound Design.
The Donmar Warehouse’s Artistic Director Tim Sheader and Executive Director Henny Finch said: “We are delighted that our innovative production of Macbeth will continue to reach new audiences beyond the original run at the Donmar, the West End and cinemas. We are so pleased that Marquee TV subscribers will have the opportunity to experience this brilliant cast and the intimacy of the Donmar in their own homes.”
