The greatest screen adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth is arguably Akira Kurosawa's visceral Throne of Blood (Kumonosu jô), starring Toshiro Mifune and Isuzu Yamada as the ambitious warrior and ruthless wife who try to murder their way to power and glory. Featuring some of the Japanese master's most unforgettable, hallucinatory imagery, and inspired by Noh theater as much as the classical source, this is Kurosawa at his atmospheric best.

Following a London West End run in December 2007 and a sold-out limited engagement at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in March 2008, Shakespeare's "Scottish play" went on to enthrall Broadway audiences yet again with a gripping production starring Sir Patrick Stewart in a triumphant, Tony®-nominated performance. Originating at England's innovative Chichester Festival Theatre, director Rupert Goold's cinematic re-interpretation of his stage production also stars the Tony®-nominated Kate Fleetwood as Lady Macbeth.
