Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare a Bridge Theatre production

In cinemas from March 22

HHHH

‘ Tremendously gripping. Unfolds like a chic, glossy spy thriller’ Time Out

Ben Whishaw (The Danish Girl, Skyfall, Hamlet) is Brutus, Michelle Fairley (Fortitude, Game of Thrones) is Cassius, David Calder (The Lost City of Z, The Hatton Garden Job) is Caesar and David Morrissey (The Missing, Hangmen, The Walking Dead) is Mark Antony. Captured live from the Bridge Theatre, London.

Caesar returns in triumph to Rome and the people pour out of their homes to celebrate. Alarmed by the autocrat’s popularity, the educated élite conspire to bring him down. After his assassination, civil war erupts on the streets of the capital with chaos following in its wake.

Macbeth by William Shakespeare

In cinemas from May 10

Shakespeare’s most intense and terrifying tragedy, directed by Rufus Norris (The Threepenny Opera, London Road), will see Rory Kinnear (Young Marx, Othello) and Anne-Marie Duff (Oil, Suffragette) return to the National Theatre to play Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.

The ruined aftermath of a bloody civil war. Ruthlessly fighting to survive, the Macbeths are propelled towards the crown by forces of elemental darkness.
