Cinephiles and dramaturges are in for a real treat this weekend because The Tragedy of Macbeth—Joel Coen’s critically acclaimed adaptation of Shakespeare’s masterpiece—is coming to Apple TV+ this weekend, streaming free for all subscribers.
Two-time Academy Award-winner Denzel Washington stars as Macbeth, while three-time Academy Award-winner Frances McDormand stars as his wife, Lady Macbeth. As those familiar with the play know, it’s a tale of a power-hungry husband-and-wife duo who let ambition corrupt them, to their own demise. And for those who aren’t familiar with the plot, you may want to brush up on the Sparknotes version before you watch, because that Shakespearean language, while beautiful, is not the easiest to decipher.
