Four-time Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan makes her London stage debut alongside James McArdle in 'The Tragedy of Macbeth'
It speaks volumes for Saoirse Ronan’s achievements, at just 27, that news of her U.K. stage debut was greeted with the level of excitement that might accompany a Hollywood veteran. But while at the height of her screen powers, Ronan is still a novice in the. So this was an intriguing prospect, as was the pairing of Ronan with James McArdle — already an accomplished stage performer — and the question of what these young actors would offer Shakespeare’s most dastardly Mr. and Mrs.
The answer is something remarkable. Neither disappoints, and together they’re sensational, in what feels like a generational-best. Director Yaël Farber has devised a powerhouse interpretation of the play that imaginatively expands Lady Macbeth’s stage time as one half of a now youthful, virile, callow couple, who fall prey to the kind of overreaching that’s stoked in the bedroom and whose mutual undoing is spectacularly moving.
