This production of Macbeth has oodles of atmosphere, writes PATRICK MARMION... All hail David Tennant, Thane of Covent Garden (pity about the headphones though)

Macbeth, Donmar Warehouse

With Ralph Fiennes’ Macbeth in Liverpool heading to Edinburgh next month and David Tennant’s take on the bloody Scottish monarch officially installed in Covent Garden last night, we have the intriguing prospect of an English warlord laying waste to Scotland and a Scottish warlord wreaking havoc in London.

Perhaps they should both raise an army and meet half way to slug out who’s boss – in Leeds. The only trouble is that these two very cerebral thinker Thanes could well wind up calling a summit and reaching an entente cordiale.
