MACBETH : Shakespeare’s Globe on Screen at Theatr Mwldan, Cardigan | Aberteifi |
Dydd Iau 11 Medi :: Thursday 11 September @ 7.00yh/pm Shakespeare's Globe, in partnership with Arts Alliance Media, continue their enthralling 2014 season with another supernatural Shakespeare classic joining The Tempest in cinemas. Macbeth, Shakespeare’s archetypal exploration of ambition, guilt and destiny, will be screened at Theatr Mwldan, Cardigan on Thursday 11 September at 7.00pm. Starring Joseph Millson, Samantha Spiro, Gawn Grainger, and Billy Boyd, The Globe’s critically-acclaimed incarnation of the Scottish play was directed by Olivier Award-winning stage and screen actress Eve Best. Captured in crystal-clear high definition, the production will be broadcast in digital cinema quality allowing the audience a chance to experience one of Shakespeare’s most beloved plays on the world’s most famous stage as if they were there in person, all from the comfort of their local cinema. When three witches tell Macbeth, played by Joseph Millson, that he is destined to occupy the throne of Scotland, he and his wife (double Olivier Award-winner, Samantha Spiro) choose to become the instruments of their fate and to kill the first man standing in their path, the virtuous King Duncan (Gawn Grainger). But to maintain his position, Macbeth must keep on killing – first Banquo, played by Lord of the Rings star Billy Boyd, his old comrade-in-arms; then, as the atmosphere of guilt and paranoia thickens, anyone who seems to threaten his tyrant’s crown. Billy Boyd said of the production, “I feel very honoured to be part of Eve Best's beautiful production of Macbeth and it’s great that it will soon be able to be enjoyed by cinemagoers all over the world. To work with such talented, passionate people in such a wonderfully creative and magical space as the Globe is truly a gift. Standing on the Globe stage speaking Shakespeare's incredible words will always be a huge highlight in my career and I can't wait till I'm back at the Globe and in another one of Shakespeare's masterpieces.” From its mesmerising first moments to the last fulfilment of the witches' prophecy, Shakespeare’s gripping account of the profoundest engagement with the forces of evil enthrals the imagination. Macbeth also stars Harry Hepple as Lennox and Finty Williams as Lady Macduff in “a cracking directorial debut” by Eve Best (Daily Telegraph), and her envisioning of this iconic Scottish play. Tickets for Macbeth on Thursday 11 September at 7pm are £12.50 (£11.50) and are available to book from Theatr Mwldan’s Box Office on 01239 621200, online at www.mwldan.co.uk, or via smart phone by visiting mwldan.ticketsolve.com/mobile |
