Australian Premiere screening starring David Tennant and Cush Jumbo

Unsettling intimacy and brutal action combine at breakneck speed as Max Webster (Life of PiHenry V) directs this tragic tale of love, murder, and nature’s power of renewal. With staging ‘full of wolfish imagination and alarming surprise’ (★★★★★ The Guardian), the immersive cinema setting places the audience inside the minds of the Macbeths, asking are we ever really responsible for our actions?

Presented by Sydney Opera House and Sharmill Films
