Classic Stage Company kicks off its 2019-2020 season with a revival of William Shakespeare's Macbeth, directed by John Doyle.
Tickets are on sale now.
A terrifyingly prophetic tale of revenge, murder, and madness, Macbeth ominously traces the fallout when the darkest side of humanity cheats its way into a position of power. Often referred to as “The Scottish Play” by superstitious theatergoers due to the purported witchcraft found within its text, Macbeth is one of Shakespeare’s bloodiest, scariest, and yet, most popular tragedies.
Classic Stage Company has now announced complete casting for its upcoming Off-Broadway revival of Macbeth, which is scheduled to begin previews at CSC's Lynn F. Angelson Theater on October 10, 2019, ahead of an official opening on October 27 and a limited engagement through December 15, 2019.
Golden Globe nominee Corey Stoll and Nadia Bowers, who are married in real life, are set to take on theatre's iconic couple of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth in Classic Stage Company's upcoming Off-Broadway revival. Macbeth is scheduled to begin previews at CSC's Lynn F. Angelson Theater on October 10, 2019, ahead of an official opening on October 27 and a limited engagement through December 15, 2019.
Classic Stage Company's Artistic Director John Doyle has now announced the new productions to make up the company's upcoming 52nd off-Broadway season. Mr. Doyle commented: “All of the works this season explore disturbing aspects of humanity. Yet they all have beauty. There’s nothing more poetically beautiful than Macbeth’s ‘Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow’ speech; there’s tenderness in the two gothic plays; there’s so much humor in Assassins—and such deep psychological and social insight in all of them.”
