Reviews
Reviews
“By the power of paradox and strong theatrical suggestion, Declan Donnellan’s superb Cheek by Jowl version of Macbeth has a terrible and transfixing presence…Like a cross between psychodrama and fierce, fluid modern dance, the production creates a creepily variable sense of time.”
Paul Taylor, The Independent
“A darkly splendid Macbeth. Twelve magnificent British actors, who all share the same feeling for language, the same physical commitment, and the same finely-honed sense of space, that reminds us what theatre is… In Nick Ormerod’s very open set, which is beautiful in its simplicity, Donnellan arranges the tragedy in movements, like a piece of music. It is dazzling, and every performance is intelligent and subtle.”
Armelle Héliot, Le Figaro
“Austere and concise, pure wonderwork. One of the greatest events of the international theatre season”
Marcos Ordoñez, El País
“Language and movement are paramount. More than in any other Cheek by Jowl production, the choral and choreographic elements are raised to new levels. The ‘poetry of evil’ spreads its wings like a macabre ballet.”
Philip Tirard, La Libre Belgique
“A pure, yet tough take on Shakespeare, stunning! This fresh take on Macbeth is seminal; Declan Donnellan is a fabulous director. With virtually no set and in contemporary costume, the actors, with their sheer presence, create a startling realism. A must-see.”
Michèle Friche, Le Soir
“A darkly splendid Macbeth”
