Television Reviews - "Macbeth On The Estate"
 
  Graham Bryan & Andy  

Storyline

The story of MacBeth re-told in the modern-day setting of Birmingham’s Ladywood housing estate (incidentally the very same estate where Andrew Tiernan grew up).

SHAKESPEARE'S Macbeth is a council estate drug addict and Duncan a crime baron in an adaptation of the play being made by the BBC. Residents of a run-down Birmingham estate in suburban Ladywood are being recruited for spear carriers and small parts in the 90-minute film.

Swords are replaced by baseball bats and the three witches by street urchins in film-maker Penny Woolcock's version of the Scottish classic. Among professional actors in the leading roles are James Frain, Susan Vidler as Lady Macbeth and Andrew Tiernan as Banquo .
