We are thrilled to announce that [the Donmar Warehouse’s modern interpretation of Macbeth](https://www.donmarwarehouse.com/whats-on/macbeth-m1xn), starring David Tennant (*Doctor Who*, *Broadchurch*) and Cush Jumbo (*The Good Wife*, *Criminal Record*), is **now [available to watch on Digital Theatre+ as an exclusive educational license](https://www.digitaltheatreplus.com/title/macbeth#donmar)**.

## Sold-Out Run at London's Donmar Warehouse

Directed by Max Webster (*Life of Pi*, *Henry V*), *Macbeth* ran at London’s Donmar Warehouse from December 2023 to February 2024, and was captured live in 2024.

The production saw three Olivier nominations (including Best Revival) and a Best Shakespearean Performance win for David Tennant at the [2024 Critics’ Circle Awards](http://www.david-tennant.co.uk/2024/03/david-tennant-wins-at-critics-circle.html).

Both David Tennant and Cush Jumbo were praised for their ‘[electrifying](https://www.gaytimes.com/originals/david-tennant-and-cush-jumbo-star-in-high-concept-modern-macbeth-review/)’ performances, with [Theatre Weekly](https://theatreweekly.com/review-macbeth-at-donmar-warehouse/) writing:

‘As the titular Macbeth, [Tennant] holds the audience spellbound throughout, while Cush Jumbo’s Lady Macbeth is remarkably compelling, particularly [...] as guilt-driven madness descends.’

This modern production was also praised for its innovative use of binaural technology, which helped to place the audience inside the minds of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. [As sound designer Gareth Fry explained](https://youtu.be/OSlJsN6dENc), ‘even though you know it’s an illusion, it still feels real to you.’

## No. 1 at the UK Box Office

*Macbeth* was filmed live at the Donmar Warehouse in 2024, and was released in cinemas worldwide earlier this year by Event Cinema distributor [Trafalgar Releasing. ](https://trafalgar-releasing.com/events/macbeth-david-tennant-cush-jumbo/)

‘This cinematic rendering [is] more than just a recording’, [Everything Theatre](https://everything-theatre.co.uk/2025/01/review-macbeth-national-cinemas/) wrote, ‘it’s a thoroughly satisfying theatrical event in itself’. [What’sOnStage](https://www.whatsonstage.com/news/macbeth-in-cinemas-with-david-tennant-and-cush-jumbo-review-something-wondrous-this-way-comes_1661389/) similarly praised capture director Tim Van Someren for leaning into ‘the flexibility the screen format provides’:

‘Tennant washing his blood-stained hands in ethereal slow motion, while brooding close-ups give an immediacy unavailable to a live audience. The occasional crane shot, sometimes fluttering overhead, provides a swooping sense of foreboding.’
