Macbeth & Dunsinane
Macbeth: ★★★☆☆ Speedy
Dunsinane: ★★★★☆ Bloody

Dunsinane
★★★★☆ Subtlety finds solid ground
David Greig’s Dunsinane, a ‘continuation’ of Macbeth with nods to contemporary events, is once again on tour thanks to the National Theatre of Scotland and the Royal Shakespeare Company, and if anything it seems like an even better play than it did last time round.
