Macbeth

THEATRE CONCERT CINEMA

Festival Theatre, Edinburgh, Tue-sat

Scottish actor Michael Nardone (BBC 1’s The Night Manager and Rellik, HBO’S Rome) will play the title role in the National Theatre’s touring production of Macbeth, with Kirsty Besterman joining the cast as Lady Macbeth.

Directed by NT artistic director Rufus Norris, this new production has been described as epic and visually daring and propels Shakespeare’s classic title into a post-apocalyptic world of anarchy and uncertainty.

Chase Rice

Oran Mor, Glagsow, Thurs

Another stellar night of American country music comes to Glasgow, with Chase Rice returning to the UK after last year’s sold-out tour.

Having co-written one of the biggest selling country songs of all time (Cruise by Florida Georgia Line), he is now established as an artist in his own right with the successful Lambs & Lions album.

Support comes from Jimmie Allen, a rising star who is tipped to be of the next big breakout country acts.

Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far On Foot

Released on Fri

After Portland slacker John Callahan (Joaquin Phoenix) nearly loses his life in a car accident, the last thing he intends to do is give up drinking.

But when he reluctantly enters treatment – with encouragement from girlfriend (Rooney Mara) and a charismatic sponsor (Jonah Hill) – Callahan discovers a gift for drawing irreverent newspaper cartoons that develop a national following and give him a new lease on life. Based on a true story.
