Macbeth: Jenny Sterlin and Brendan Titley

Jenny Sterlin and Brendan Titley complete the cast of The National Theatre of Scotland's production of Macbeth, starring Tony and Olivier Award winner Alan Cumming (Cabaret, TV: "The Goodwife"), with direction by John Tiffany and Andrew Goldberg.

Macbeth will play a strictly limited 73 performances only, opening at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on 21 Apr 2012, following previews from 07 Apr 2013, and closing on 30 Jun 2013.

Alan Cumming takes on all of Shakespeare's characters, in a re-imagining of Shakespeare's tale of desire, ambition and the supernatural. The production is set in a psychiatric unit and centres on a patient who is reliving the story of Macbeth. CCTV cameras watch the patient's every move and the white clinical walls of the unit come to life in a multi-media theatrical experience.

Sterlin Titley appear as the hospital's 'Doctor' and 'Orderly,' respectively.

The shows creative team features sets and costumes by Merle Hensel, lighting by Natasha Chivers , sound by Fergus O'Hare and projection design by Ian William Galloway.

Alan Cumming was reunited with the National Theatre of Scotland's John Tiffany to offer this new interpretation of "the Scottish play". Macbeth is directed by John Tiffany ('Once,' 'Black Watch' - both currently touring in the UK) and Andrew Goldberg ('The Bomb-itty of Errors').

The production premiered at Tramway, Glasgow in Jun 2012, then transferred to the Lincoln Center Festival in New York.

Alan Cumming said,

Performing Macbeth last year was the most challenging and fulfilling experience of my career by far, and so I am both honoured and daunted to do it again in my adopted hometown of New York City. I'm also proud of the fact that The National Theatre of Scotland is directly funded by the Scottish government and I cannot think of a better way to trumpet Scotland and its commitment to the arts than being a Scotsman doing his National Theatre's production of the Scottish play on the Great White Way.
