“It’s so exciting to think that thousands of global audiences will now get to experience this brilliant cast and the intimacy of the Donmar in their local cinema.”
Trafalgar Releasing CEO Marc Allenby added: “It’s great to be working with the Donmar Warehouse once again to bring their sold-out production of Macbeth to cinema audiences both across the UK and globally.
“Theater continues to be a significant driver of cinema box office revenue and is a priority genre for Trafalgar Releasing as we grow our wide-ranging portfolio of cultural content captured especially for the big screen.”
Tennant will next be seen as Lord Tony Baddingham in Disney+ series Rivals, which is adapted from the Jilly Cooper novel.
Macbeth will be released in cinemas on February 5, 2025. The show is currently playing at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London.
