Indira Varma News

Simon Godwin is no stranger to the work of Shakespeare. Until May 5, his production of Macbeth is playing in D.C. with a cast led by Ralph Fiennes and Indira Varma. The film version of this same production will hit theaters on May 2. BroadwayWorld sat down with Godwin to discuss his take on Shakespeare’s tragedy, Fiennes’ performance, and what the play means for contemporary audiences.

An intense and well filmed release of an atmospheric production of Macbeth. Showing in cinemas from 2 May.

Director Simon Godwin's brand-new critically-acclaimed  production of Macbeth starring Tony and BAFTA Award winner Ralph Fiennes and Olivier Award winner Indira Varma will be released in cinemas from May 2. In this exclusive video taken from his first soliloquy in Act 1 Scene 3, a battle-scarred Macbeth wrestles with his conscience after the Witches' prophecy that he will become Thane of Cawdor comes to pass.

STC’s Macbeth highlights brutal pairs: war and domestic life, grief and humor, brief words and permanent consequences. While the setting could feel unassuming—indeed, audiences must make their way through the parking lot of a Home Depot when arriving via metro—it also shows how extravagant it is to create a theatre space from scratch. This over-the-top, hollowed-out aesthetic fits the world of the play, where titles and status belie a fear of impermanence. Combined with raw, vulnerable performances, this is a powerful take on the timeless tragedy.

Renowned actor Ralph Fiennes takes on the iconic role of Macbeth in a new production at Park Theatre.
