Movie description:
Roman Polanski’s version of Shakespeare’s tragedy about a Scottish lord who murders the king and ascends the throne. His wife then begins hallucinating as a result of her guilt complex and the dead king’s son conspires to attack Macbeth and expose him for the murderer he is.
Classic Polanski version of the Shakespeare tragedy. The role of Macduff’s son is short and ends violently in this tragedy.
Mark Dightam had the added problems of his costume to contend with in this, his only major role, which was something of a surprise to his fellow pupils at stage school!
