David Tennant BBC Audio Version of Macbeth

The BBC audio version of Macbeth, where David Tennant takes on the role of the tragic hero, is brilliant. I use it in class when I teach the play, but it’s also something that works really well for students when they revise. It’s divided into two parts, each one lasting roughly an hour.
