This is the best film performance of Macbeth which I have seen. It ranks with Ian McKellen s Richard III (1994/5) as a definitive production in an updated setting. Like McKellen s Richard III, Goold s Macbeth uses a staging suggestive of late 1930 s - and does not seem out of place any more the McKellen s Richard III did. Patrick Stewart s interpretation and presentation of the Macbeth character is dynamic and cover s a wide range of expression. His Macbeth has a hesitant and sometimes seeming incomplete descent into pure evil. It was a masterful and dynamic performance. However, in my opinion, Stewart s co-star, Kate Fleetwood, just about steals the show. Her Lady Macbeth is pure evil from the start - she comes across as the cold pit viper lacking only visible fangs. Her performance here is truly the best I have seen since I saw Judith Anderson give a TV performance a long time ago. The integration of the 3 witches into the action throughout as 3 triage nurses was an imaginative element. This is a hold on to your seat production - grabbing your attention right at the start and moving at a steady pace to the last syllable of (its) recorded time - you will not leave your chair.
