The London Traveler

Theatre Thursday - Macbeth and Patrick Stewart

London is still one of the best places in the world to see Shakespeare. From the reconstructed Globe Theatre on the south bank of the Thames to the Royal Shakespeare Company to the sheer number of venues in London, there is always a high-quality production on somewhere in the city.

From now (actually a couple of weeks ago) through December 1st, Patrick Stewart is playing Macbeth at the Gielgud Theatre. This particular production is set in the 1950s, with Soviet-style costumes. It has received some very good reviews, with some saying it’s Stewart’s best performance ever!

If you’re interested, it is highly recommended to book as soon as possible. Tickets are already scarce, so if you don’t want to pay inflated prices to a reseller, you need to buy soon.

Dates: Now until December 1st
Times: 7:30pm shows, with 2:30pm matinees once a week
Where: Gielgud Theatre. Closest Tube station is Piccadilly Circus, on Piccadilly and Bakerloo lines.
Tickets: approx. £35 and up (very up)
