Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’ is a key text in the GCSE English exams and parents can help their children to do well on it simply by taking them out to the cinema.
From Wednesday 5 February, ‘Macbeth’ will be screening at Tamworth’s Odeon Cinema and this extra familiarity with the plot and characters will only support understanding for the all-important exam.
This film version of the play is described as:
David Tennant (Doctor Who, Broadchurch) and Cosh Jumbo (The Good Wife, Criminal Record) lead a stellar cast in an “enthralling / 5* (Daily Telegraph) new production of Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’, filmed live at the Donmar Warehouse in London, especially for the big screen.
Unsettling intimacy and brutal action combine at breakneck speed as Max Website (Life of PI, Henry V) directs this tragic tale of love, murder, and nature’s power of renewal. With staging “full of wolfish imagination and alarming surprise / 5*” (The Guardian), the immersive 5.1 cinema surround sound places the audience inside the minds of the Macbeths, asking are we ever really responsible for our action ?
