Shakespeare’s iconic tragedy Macbeth will be performed at the National Theatre in London tomorrow evening and broadcast live at St James Cavalier Cinema, Valletta.

The Bard’s supernatural-tinged tragedy has become the quintessential tale of the ‘rise and fall’ of power and an intimate portrait of the tragedy behind great personalities in high station.

Driven by a prophecy that stirs up the ambition buried deep in his heart, the admirable Scottish general Macbeth and the politically astute Lady Macbeth aspire to move up the social hierarchy. As eerie events and fatal omens unfold in the background, the Macbeths move from honour on the battlefield to a noble title. When all that remains to aspire to is the glory of the crown, they conspire to seize it by any means available to them – including bloody murder.

The performance boasts a strong cast, including Rory Kinnear as Macbeth and Anne-Marie Duff as Lady Macbeth.

Macbeth will be broadcast live at St James Cavalier Cinema, Valletta, tomorrow at 8pm. There will be an encore screening on May 26 at 7pm. For tickets and to view a trailer of the performance, visit www.kreattivita.org/en/event/live-macbeth.
