Multi award-winning actor Alan Cumming returns to Glasgow for a virtuoso performance in this bold re-imagining of Shakespeare's chilling tale of desire, ambition, and the supernatural.

Tramway, 13th - 30th June, 2012

John Tiffany and Alan Cumming (who made his stage debut as Malcolm in Macbeth in 1985) originally worked together on the National Theatre of Scotland's production of Euripides' The Bacchae which took the Edinburgh International Festival by storm in 2007 and subsequently toured in 2008 to Aberdeen, Inverness and the Lincoln Center Festival in New York. Andy Goldberg runs the Shakespeare Gym in New York City and was staff director on the National Theatre of Scotland's production of Black Watch in New York, when he and John Tiffany first started collaborating creatively.

Alan Cumming said:
"I have been obsessed with Macbeth for as long as I can remember. It was the first Shakespeare I ever read, the first I was ever in and it continues to haunt and inspire me.
