Summary

The spellbinding story of love and murder, power and paranoia, and the internal struggles of a married couple as they try to control their destiny, and one another…
This official tie-in edition to the Donmar Warehouse's hotly anticipated 2023 revival of Shakespeare's extraordinary psychological drama features rich and revealing behind-the-scenes material exploring how the production was conceived and developed.
Starring David Tennant and Cush Jumbo, and directed by Donmar Associate Director Max Webster, this bracingly fresh version used binaural sound technology to place the audience inside the minds of the Macbeths, asking us: are we are ever really responsible for our actions?
In addition to the version of Shakespeare's text performed, this volume also includes a fascinating rehearsal diary, colour photos, and interviews with its leading cast and creative team: Tennant, Jumbo and Webster, plus designer Rosanna Vize, sound designer Gareth Fry and composer and musical director Alasdair Macrae.
Available since: 12/14/2023.
Print length: 142 pages.

    Vincent Toro’s new collection takes the Latin American idea of an artistic social gathering (the tertulia) and revisesit for the Latinx context in the United States. In verses dense with juxtaposition, these poems examine immigration,economics, colonialism, and race via the sublime imagery of music, visual art, and history. Toro draws from his ownsocial justice work in various U.S. cities to create a kaleidoscopic vision of the connections between the personaland the political, the local and the global, in a book that both celebrates and questions the complexities of thehuman condition.
