The blessing – and the curse – of the Globe is that it is contractually obliged to present a lot of Shakespeare plays 🖋️ This Macbeth needed to be left in the oven a little longer to rise successfully, writes FionaLondonarts ★★★
, conveying a magnetic sense of presence the moment he and Banquo arrive wearing combat fatigues and toting machine guns. Bennett makes this good-soldier-turned-bad-king kinetic and pumped; no wonder he brushes aside Matti Houghton’s Lady Macbeth as soon as she becomes an encumbrance to Project Preserve Perpetual Power.
Graham fascinatingly foregrounds children here: when Duncan arrives at the castle of the childless Macbeths, three young nippers are onstage to greet her. This underscores the fact that the line of succession matters: even if the Macbeths’ reign had been a blessed one, they have no heir to follow. Regicide uproots the natural order and this upending is symbolised by a sinister sprayed silver tree that hovers over the stage.
The witches make innovatively gruesome use of catering trolleys; this is especially effective when the trolleys are paraded around bearing body bags during the escalating slaughter of Act Five. There is a strikingly ritualistic air to these short scenes: Macbeth will fight fearsomely to the end but his destiny is pre-determined. Order, both natural and civic, will reassert itself eventually.
