Reviews
“Declan Donnellan’s dark, spare and forceful production of Macbeth for Cheek by Jowl is technically the most sophisticated in the company’s short history…Cheek by Jowl’s storytelling technique is one of the surest in British Theatre today: one scene hooks imperceptibly onto and may even overlap with the next…Vivid.”
