Macbeth To Play To March
13/12/2002
Edward Hall's production of Macbeth has extended to 1st March, though stars Sean Bean and Samatha Bond will have a week's break from 2nd to 9th February.
The show has been playing to packed houses thanks to Bean's pulling power, and when he takes his shirt off on stage there are scenes from the audience more reminiscent of a pop concert than a Shakespearean evening at the theatre.
Macbeth has an unlucky reputation but
in this case the cast are breaking the tradition with a sure-fire
hit.
