Macbeth: Antony Sher
Макбет: Энтони Шер
This film was the televised version of the sellout stage show, starring Anthony Sher as Macbeth and Harriet Walter as Lady Macbeth. It had an enormously successful run in England, Japan and the USA. It was filmed exclusively at the Roundhouse theatre in Chalk Farm, London, where Nicol Williamson's Hamlet had been filmed over 20 years before.

The Royal Shakespeare Company’s Macbeth has been lauded as the finest production of Shakespeare’s Scottish play for over a quarter of a century. In 2000, it played to packed houses in Stratford, London, and theatres abroad.
All twenty actors from the original production, including Antony Sher and Harriet Walter, star in this compelling screen version of Gregory Doran’s original stage production. Cleverly re-conceived for the camera, and brilliantly shot at London’s Roundhouse, Macbeth was filmed in a gritty style using the edgy techniques of fly-on-the-wall documentaries. Doran says, “Macbeth is, in many ways, the most filmic of Shakespeare’s plays with its short, quick-fire scenes and its hurtling, dynamic momentum. In the film I tried to capture its raw energy and dangerous intimacy.”
