The Royal Shakespeare Company's acclaimed, specially-filmed version of Gregory Doran's 1999 production, starring Antony Sher and Harriet Walter.

The RSC's Macbeth was universally lauded as the finest production of 'The Scottish Play' for over a quarter of a century when it opened at the Swan Theatre in 1999. This is a specially-filmed version, shot on location at London's Roundhouse, which uses handheld documentary style to achieve a raw, intimate and energetic interpretation. The ever-popular study of a flawed hero's disintegration into moral decay is relayed in detail, the camera style conveying the sense of edgy complicity found Macbeth's monologues in the theatre, and is a thrilling vision of one of Shakespeare's most filmic plays.
