NEW 'MACBETH' MOVIE
Macbeth aired in UK cinemas in March
WITH MARK ROWLEY
Speaking of Shakespeare's works done in a new light, check out this one: MACBETH entirely shot on green screen and reinvented by director Kit Monkman starring The Last Kingdom's Mark Rowley! Monkman’s unique adaptation successfully bridges the gap between theatre and film by exploiting the capabilities of the green screen to portray the vast world of make-believe while maintaining the traditional values, language and themes of Shakespeare’s original theatrical play.
Super hunky Mark Rowley plays the lead role
A BRAVE NEW VISION OF THE OLD STORY Brilliant young general MACBETH pulls off a glorious victory in
battle before returning to an indolent court where honours are dispensed
by whim. Spurred on by prophesying drifters and an ambitious wife,
MACBETH sets his sights on the throne. In Kit Monkman's adventurous new
adaptation, this compelling tale of unchecked ambition, soured
friendship, lost intimacy and the descent into nihilism is encountered
in a strange and claustrophobic territory partly conjured by the mind. The movie is currently available to stream and download on Amazon.
