The ruined aftermath of a bloody civil war. Ruthlessly fighting to survive, the Macbeths are propelled towards the crown by forces of elemental darkness.  Shakespeare’s most intense and terrifying tragedy, directed by Rufus Norris, sees Rory Kinnear  and Anne-Marie Duff return to the National Theatre to play Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.

National Theatre Live: Macbeth

A childless woman is told that her longed for unborn baby is incompatible with life. Alone, with her conscience and unable to openly discuss her situation because of society’s stigma surrounding termination and the self- silencing of women concerning reproduction, she painfully decides the best way forward.
