Great Performances: MacBeth

Catch a glimpse of a brief and brilliant candle. After a smash-hit Broadway run, director Rupert Goold's "Macbeth" (2010) was re-interpreted for the cinema with Tony nominated Sir Patrick Stewart reprising his title stage role. Goold's visionary adaptation sets Shakespeare's action in a foreboding, modern purgatory to better explore the consequences of one man's lust for power in the modern world. This thrilling, engrossing production originated at England's innovative Chichester Festival Theatre in 2007and co-stars Tony nominated Kate Fleetwood as Lady Macbeth.
