ShakespeaRe-Told. Macbeth
Description
Renowned restaurateur Duncan Docherty has built a gastronomic empire, but his sous-chef and maitre d' are cooking up treachery. In this modern retelling of Shakespeare's tragedy, screenwriter Peter Moffat sets the action in a 3-star London restaurant with a kitchen full of flashing blades and bloody business. James McAvoy plays Joe Macbeth, revered by his staff and relied on by Duncan-even to groom his son, Malcolm, to take over the operation. Keeley Hawes plays Macbeth's wife, Ella, the charming, scheming hostess. Vincent Regan is Duncan and Richard Armitage is Peter Macduff, the avenging headwaiter. Produced by BBC Northern Ireland and Horsebridge Productions.
