Shakespeare's Globe Theatre has uploaded several new Macbeth production photos to Facebook and also to the website

A lovely review for the production has been shared on this site.

This is a fine and hugely enjoyable Macbeth. Joseph Millson’s portrayal of the Scottish lord who is driven to acts of pure evil to achieve power after a prophecy by three witches that he will become king is perfectly balanced; at first calculating then more frenzied as he is wracked by guilt and paranoia, but still driven to further murder as his lust for power becomes all consuming.

There are moments when the production comes close to slapstick but it is saved by sensitive performances and Olly Fox’s stirring period score, which is played by musicians on the balcony. Joseph Millson is a captivating, swarthy Macbeth and Samantha Spiro brings a steely composure to the part of his bullying wife, barking orders and insults with relish... Financial Times

The Guardian has shared a second, wonderful review of Macbeth from Susannah Clapp, while The Independent's Kate Bassett also posted her brilliant review. 

Joseph Millson, easily commanding with his mellifluous voice, is mellow-toned but – watch the amount he paces around the stage – always on the brink. When things start to go wrong, you see the couple being driven apart, as couples are by unhappiness. Macbeth grabs his wife by the throat. The Guardian
