Shakespeare is coming to the Golden Age

Everyone loves an adaptation of a Shakespeare play, and Sydney-siders will be treated to just that next week when the Golden Age Theatre opens the stunning theatrical movie Macbeth starting on November the 26th.

A roaring piece of betrayal and family, Macbeth explores the unnerving effects of political ambition and what it does to the human mind. The play is so eerie that even actors don’t speak about it!

Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard lead a stellar cast in an adaptation that has stunned critics. The Standard noted about the director that ‘Kurzel ensures the horror steeps into our bones’. 

Fassbender and Cotillard are described as a ‘dream-team pairing’, with one critic claiming that Fassbender was ‘born for the role’. Director Justin Kurzel’s brother Jed leads the way with a percussive score that punctuates the film and adds to the darkness, so all together, viewers are set for an incredible modern adaptation that brings the old into the new and frightens with it’s wickedness.

Macbeth opens at the Golden Age on November 26th and runs until December 2nd.

The Golden Age Cinema will also off the treat of a Shakespeare “90s date night double”, pairing Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles in 10 Things I Hate About You with Baz Luhrmann’s beloved Romeo + Juliet, on Saturday 28 November.
