Macbeth (1913 film)

Macbeth (1913) is a silent film adaptation of William Shakespeare's play of the same name. It was directed by Arthur Bourchier, who also starred in the title role. Violet Vanbrugh played Lady Macbeth.

This British production is notable as one of the earliest cinematic interpretations of Shakespeare's tragedy. Few details about the film's production are readily available, and it is considered a lost film, with no known copies surviving. Therefore, detailed analysis of its style, performances, or fidelity to the source material is impossible. Contemporary reviews and accounts are scarce, making it difficult to assess the film's reception and impact. The film's existence is primarily documented through mentions in historical filmographies and theatre records relating to Bourchier and Vanbrugh's stage and screen careers.
