Adapted from the 1865 novella by Russian author Nikolai
Leskov, Lady Macbeth is the debut feature from renowned theatre director
William Oldroyd & first-time screenwriter Alice Birch. Relocating the drama
to the north-east of England, the film is a grisly & provocative tale of lust,
intrigue & murder. BAFTA Breakthrough Brit Florence Pugh puts in an
electrifying performance as Katherine; an abused teenage wife who embarks on an
increasingly disturbing rebellion against a cold husband & a vindictive
society. Suffice to say, the film has left many critics stunned (with FIVE STAR
review from both Peter Bradshaw in The Guardian & Tim Robey in The Telegraph)!
Much of the praise has been devoted to the rich soundscape
& haunting visuals, so special congratulations are due to Sara Putt
Associates’ very own Steve Peckover (Sound Recordist) & Sian Wilson (Hair
& Make-Up Designer).
Lady Macbeth is in UK
cinemas now!
