Rupert Goold discusses his five-star Macbeth

SHAKESPEARE: MACBETH

Rupert Goold, artistic director of Headlong theatre company, talks to Heather Neill about his highly praised Macbeth, which stars Patrick Stewart and has transferred from Chichester to the Gielgud Theatre.

The play is about masculinity: the trope of an older man corrupted by a young harridan is something we all plug into.
