In rehearsal: Macbeth

Just over two weeks remain before Scottish star James McAvoy takes to the stage in Jamie Lloyd’s highly anticipated production of Macbeth.

William Shakespeare’s dark and powerful tragedy, which will also see Claire Foy take on the role of the tyrannical leader’s ruthlessly ambitious wife, plays at the Trafalgar Studio 1 from 9 February.

But if you can’t wait until then, photographer Johan Persson snuck into rehearsals to give us a look behind the scenes.
