Don't see it if You don't like productions updating Shakespeare

Don't see it if you expect an immersive theatre experience, despite some hints that way (an auditorium decorated to look like a warm-torn countryside)
See it if you want to be immersed into a completely gripping staging of a classic story of ambition and avarice.
Don't see it if ….. no you should see it.
See it if Want to just see a Ralph Fiennes masterclass and a new modern take on the Scottish play.
Don't see it if You want a stand out Lady Macbeth, they didn’t leave her much space to make it more than it was.
See it if You enjoy innovative takes on Classics that retain the spirit of the original material.
Don't see it if You are a Shakespeare's purist with no tolerance for artistic interpretation. Read more
See it if We loved the staging, special effects, the interpretation and the characterisation
Don't see it if We can't even find any constructive criticism, we loved it!
See it if Great acting performances and a very solid retelling of the story. Slightly older Macbeth gave another dimension that worked.
Don't see it if Despite the burning car when you walk in, and the pop-up warehouse location this is not 'more than a play'. Not particularly innovative.
