The acting pair staged the William Shakespeare play at the Donmar Warehouse earlier this year before moving to the city. 

The adaptation is directed by Donmar Associate director Max Webster, also known for Life Of Pi and Henry V.

Cush previously played in Hamlet at the Young Vic a few years back – after what she was described by the former New York Times theatre critic Ben Brantley as radiating ‘that unquantifiable force of hunger, drive, talent usually called star power’.

In a glooming and dramatic animation, David and Cush stunned the crowd with a sensational performance – as the show is set to continue for the whole winter season.

Famous faces at the press night included Fearne Cotton, Michael Sheen and Poppy Delevingne. 

Fearne looked typically stylish as she attended the opening night with her husband Jesse Wood. 

TV host Gaby Roslin cut a trendy figure in a bright pink top and navy trousers as she posed outside the theatre. 

Cara Delevingne’s sister Poppy looked effortlessly chic as she arrived in an all-black ensemble.

Speaking about their part in Macbeth last year, David told The Guardian: ‘I thought I knew this play very well and that it was, unlike any other Shakespeare I can remember rehearsing, straightforward.

‘But each time I come to a scene, it goes in a direction I wasn’t expecting. It has such muscle to it, it powers along. Plot-wise, it’s more front-footed than any Shakespeare play I’ve done.’

Cush added: ‘She is deeply ingrained in our culture. Everyone thinks they know who she is. Most people studied the play at school. I did – I hated it. It was so boring but that’s because Shakespeare’s plays aren’t meant to be read, they’re meant to be acted.

‘People think they know Lady Macbeth as a type – the strong, controlling woman who pushed him to do it. She does things women shouldn’t do. The greatest misconception is that we have stopped seeing Lady Macbeth as a human being.’
