Ralph Fiennes and Indira Varma bet on William Shakespeare’s Macbeth

Ralph Fiennes and Indira Varma are bringing Macbeth to London – and tickets are now on sale.

From Wessex Grove and Underbelly, in association with Shakespeare Theatre Company, this brand new production of one of William Shakespeare’s most iconic plays will be staged in custom-built spaces designed to bring the audience closer to the action.

Macbeth is coming. A couple corrupted by their relentless lust for power have blood on their hands. Witness the gripping tale of greed, murder, deception and superstition. Once you cross the line, you can never turn back.

Tony and BAFTA Award-winning Fiennes will star as Macbeth and Olivier Award-winning Varma will play as Lady Macbeth in the production, which is directed by Simon Godwin with set and costume design by Frankie Bradshaw and an adaptation by Emily Burns. 

Macbeth comes to Dock X, Canada Water, from February 20-March 23, 2024.

Trailer: Straight Line Crazy

Here’s a new trailer for Straight Line Crazy, starring Ralph Fiennes as a man whose iron will exposes the weakness of democracy in the face of charismatic conviction.

From writer Dave Hare and director Nicholas Hynter, the play is now on at the Bridge Theatre. The cast also includes Alisha Bailey, Samuel Barnett, David Bromley, Al Coppola, Siobhán Cullen, Ian Kirkby, Alana Maria, Dani Moseley, Guy Paul, Helen Schlesinger, Mary Stillwaggon Stewart and Danny Webb.

For 40 years, Robert Moses (Fiennes) was the most powerful man in New York, manipulating those in office through a mixture of guile, charm and intimidation.

Motivated at first by a determination to improve the lives of New York City’s workers, he created new parks, new bridges and 627 miles of expressway to connect the people to the great outdoors. But in the 1950s, groups of citizens at grass roots began to organise against his schemes and against the motor car, campaigning for a very different idea of what a city was and for what it should be.
