Tony Award winner Alan Cumming in his riveting solo interpretation of Shakespeareâs tragedy.
Star of stage, film and television Alan Cumming delivers a virtuoso performance playing every role in the National Theatre of Scotlandâs bold presentation of Shakespeareâs chilling tale of desire, ambition, and the supernatural.
This radical reimagining of one of Shakespeareâs most deeply psychological plays is set in a psychiatric unit in which Cumming is the lone patient. Channeling the story of Macbeth, he is inhabited in turn by each of the characters of the drama, including some of Shakespeareâs most complex and troubled creations.
Cummingâs one-man interpretation of Shakespeareâs Scottish play comes to audio directly from acclaimed limited stage engagements with the National Theatre of Scotland in Glasgow and at New Yorkâs Lincoln Center. Directed for audio by the stage productionâs renowned directors, this exclusive studio recording of Cummingâs dazzling solo performance captures the excitement, passion and poetry of a wildly original tour-de-force that is destined to become theatrical legend.
