Macbeth

As Macbeth rides home from battle, three witches prophecise that he will soon rise in power to become King of Scotland. Aided by his wife, the pair will stop at nothing to seal their fate. Performing from within the walls of a deconsecrated Manchester church, Kenneth Branagh takes the lead role in this ambitious production of William Shakespeare’s tragic tale of ambition and treachery.
