MancBeth: Flagship Production

MancBeth serves as Whittaker Lemberg’s lead production, strategically developed to optimise commercial success. In 2024, the project premiered its musical stage show at Modern Art Oxford and Band on The Wall in Manchester. This multimedia event offered audiences a modern take on the Shakespeare classic through an immersive blend of film, song, and drama.

Press coverage from the Oxford Times and Manchester Evening News highlighted how the stage production served as crucial research for the screenplay adaptation process. Insights from these performances have informeda new draft of the screenplay.

MancBeth represents a strategic investment combining high-quality storytelling with market appeal and diversified revenue streams that extend beyond traditional film distribution. As Whittaker Lemberg’s flagship production, it will define the company’s creative and commercial reputation while establishing a foundation for future projects.
