Royal Shakespeare Company - Macbeth, on stage footage

- Опубліковано 21 чер 2011
- Macbeth is rewarded with rank and favour by a grateful king.
But with each enemy butchered in his master's defence, Macbeth's own desire for the crown grows until, driven to distraction by greed, he ferociously seizes the throne. But, violence breeds violence, and a reign born in blood quickly spirals out of control as Macbeth's actions return to destroy him.
RSC Artistic Director Michael Boyd directs the first new production in the transformed Royal Shakespeare Theatre. Jonathan Slinger plays Macbeth following his acclaimed performances as Richard II and Richard III in the award-winning 2006 -- 2008 Histories Cycle.

Seeing him mumble under his breath is something I think should be crucial to this scene. Every other video I've seen online shows Macbeth fully aware of his surroundings and cognizant of the moment, but here we see the curse of those words "sleep no more! Macbeth doth murder sleep!" creep its way into his rational and function. Brilliant work by both actors, and I appreciate that the love/passion for each other is present in this moment as well. Lady Macbeth nailed it.
Such an intense scene. A little water clears us of this deed ... if only!
"..the multitudinous seas incarnadine" Shakespeare's language at its best.
I saw this production back in 2011. The witches were children....hanging from the ceiling!!! Absolutely chilling. A superb production.
why can't I act so good in my drama class .... 😤😤
I went and saw this in Stratford when I was in year 10. Brilliant.
Great material for classes
Does anyone know if I can buy the full version anywhere?
Are they releasing this version on DVD? i saw the performance in May and already booked to see it again, it was brilliant. Just wondering if i can enjoy the performance in DVD form at my own free will :)
Are these performances available on DVD or download?
Nick Carbone yes
My OpenMind would you plz provide a link
hi
i wish i could see this... i'd pay
Wish that evrerything did not go all modern killing Shakespeare 's macbeth in the name of modernism. We have enough of it without having to lose the past.
I'd suggest in all humility that the RSC come out with a set of CD/DVDs containing all plays done to professional standards.All over the rold Shakeapre's plays are being taught pitiably y teachers that dont know the cultural matricx inwhich the Bard lived.I taught Tempest and macbeth like this,and now regret having botched it!
Ja
Good, but I thought the lady spoke some of the sentences too fast.
A foolish thought to say a sorry sight!
Who was it that thus cry, y worthy thane u do ambers ur noble strength to thing so brain sickly of things
Macbeth is good, but this just makes me feel bulls*** man
wow amazint, 180 degrees... for the whole scene... with awful actors
I'm aware that this was 9 years ago, so at least the white characters were played by white actors, which the RSC would now consider anathema: but this is still lousy. You've got the guy blurting out all his lines as if he's out of breath with scant regard for metre, and the woman reading out her lines at ninety miles an hour so you can hardly absorb or register the dialogue. Both are overwrought. The first thing actors performing Shakespeare should be prepared to do is simply to pay attention to the metre, and not inject their own presence over everything by treating the play as if it's a sociorealistic but melodramatic soap opera. I sincerely doubt that whoever staged this thing is even aware of what half the lines mean, given that the leads are being seemingly encouraged to garble so many of their lines.
