about

Originally broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 1995.

Praise for 'Berkoff's Macbeth':

"A terrific production" - The Times
"Cleo Laine is marvellous...a highly enjoyable production" - Stage
"Unlike any other production of 'the Scottish play' you've ever heard. Cleo Laine cooks up a storm...Mark Glentworth's score is an ear-opener" - Daily Mail
"A gripping production...Berkoff's soliloquies as Macbeth were terrifying" - Sunday Telegraph

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 to great critical acclaim, 'Berkoff's Macbeth' is a powerful, chilling interpretation of Shakespeare's tragedy which, while remaining faithful to the text, reveals Steven Berkoff's highly original genius. His dynamic Thane is complemented by Linda Marlowe's icy, calculating Lady Macbeth, Samuel West's impassioned Macduff, Timothy Walker's outraged Malcolm and Cleon Laine's sublimely sinister witches.

Together with Mark Glentworth's evocative music, they create an atmosphere of high dramatic tension which has all the immediacy of film. Bringing out the dramatic subtleties, the magic, the madness and the horror of Shakespeare's play, 'Berkoff's Macbeth' is a production that will be remembered for its vigour, energy and emotional power.

It is presented here in it's full unabridged form, split in to two one hour halves for ease of listening. This is the first time the production has been available to buy in many years.
