Classics
Type: Theater
Cast: Acting students from Guildhall School of Music and Drama
Presenter: Lord Birkett
Location: The Globe Theater, London, England

This rehearsal of Macbeth takes you onto the iconic stage at The Globe Theater to explore one of Shakespeare’s darkest and most intense tragedies. Rather than presenting a finished performance, the students reveal how they create a performance with ambition, guilt, and psychological tension. The collaborative rehearsal process shows how atmosphere and emotional stakes are built from the ground up. The behind-the-scenes perspective makes the themes of moral conflict feel urgent and human.
