Macbeth
About this event
David Tennant (Doctor Who, Broadchurch) and Cush Jumbo (The Good Wife, Criminal Record) lead a stellar cast in an ‘enthralling’ (★★★★★ Daily Telegraph) new production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, filmed live at the Donmar Warehouse in London, especially for the big screen. Unsettling intimacy and brutal action combine at breakneck speed as Max Webster (Life of Pi, Henry V) directs this tragic tale of love, murder, and nature’s power of renewal. With staging ‘full of wolfish imagination and alarming surprise’ (★★★★★ The Guardian), the immersive 5.1 cinema surround sound places the audience inside the minds of the Macbeths, asking are we ever really responsible for our actions?

Buck and the Preacher
Sidney Poitier’s directorial debut, 'Buck and the Preacher,' employs the genre’s traditional narratives to challenge notions of freedom for African Americans in the post–Civil War West as they face relentless pursuit by racist bounty hunters. Buck (Poitier), a former Union soldier turned trail guide, and the Preacher, a con artist (Harry Belafonte), lead a group of freed slaves to safety in the West, away from the pervasive racism of the South. A trembling suspension between the two men builds as they play cat and mouse across dusty frontier trails, creating an unsettling allegory about the tenuous and often conflicted alliances that Black individuals had to forge in the face of systemic oppression.
