Back in March and April of 2008, BAM presented director Rupert Goold’s reimagining of Shakespeare’s MACBETH, a multimedia production from the Chichester Festival Theatre starring Patrick Stewart as the embattled title character. We called it “bold, boisterous, and very loud . . . Stewart is a solid if unspectacular and unconventional Macbeth, giving noogies, poking playfully at ties, and pointing with pickles — and he seems to make one helluva killer ham sandwich.” The show later moved to Broadway and was filmed for broadcast on public television. The 161-minute film, which also stars Kate Fleetwood as Lady Macbeth and Michael Feast as Macduff, will be screened at BAM on Monday night, introduced by Stewart, who is currently on Broadway in a revival of David Mamet’s A LIFE IN THE THEATRE.
