Reviews

The Guardian: 11Jan01:
Hang out the banners! Stratford has come up with its best Macbeth since Trevor Nunn's legendary production a quarter of a century ago. Gregory Doran's version thrusts the play into a modern, militaristic society without diminishing its theatricality, while Antony Sher and Harriet Walter perfectly trace the psychological arc of the Macbeths in their inexorable descent into madness and guilt.
