I've just seen Macbeth with James McAvoy. I can't recommend it.
It isn't bad per se, it's just okay - which is in itself disappointing. I was expecting James M to use his real accent for a change but instead did a strange version of it. Frankly the only person who stood out was Lady MacDuff.
Reading the programme they had all these high flying ideas for the setting - about tyrants and setting it in a futuristic distopia, which are fair enough but don't quite work.
It got a standing ovation by some of the audience - but that smacked more of celebrity worship rather than appreciation of the production.
All in be glad it's sold out and that you saved the money on the ticket and go and see something else.
