Macbeth to Cinema from The Donmar Warehouse
Something wicked this way comes…. a brand new production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, in cinemas across the globe from February 2025.
Recorded live at Donmar Warehouse, our sound engineer Will captured Gareth Fry’s unique binaural sound design — modifying and mixing it specially for the big screen.
“I really enjoyed spending several weeks working with Spiritland Sound Supervisor Will Thornton to create a 5.1 cinema mix from my original binaural design to sound really immersive in cinemas. I’m really pleased with how it’s sounding, and Spiritland were a pleasure to work with!”
— Gareth Fry, Sound Designer, Macbeth at The Donmar Warehouse
Unsettling intimacy and brutal action combine at breakneck speed from director Max Webster (Life of Pi, Henry V). With staging ‘full of wolfish imagination and alarming surprise’ (★★★★★ The Guardian), the immersive 5.1 cinema surround sound places the audience inside the minds of the Macbeths, asking, are we ever really responsible for our actions? Watch the trailer below.
