Patrick Stewart comes to Broadway as Macbeth

March 5th, 2008

The theatre version of Macbeth, one of the most famous dramas written by Shakespeare is coming to Broadway on April 8th. The play was a great success at Brooklyn Academy of Music, West End and U.K’s Chichester Theatre Festival. This production is directed by Rupert Goold and has won the Evening Standard award. The play will be performed at Lyceum theatre in Broadway till May 24th. Tickets are on sale for the Broadway staging of Macbeth. This outstanding play has received many awards and appreciation like the “What’s on Stage Award” given to the Best Shakespearean production, Best Revival Award etc.

In this Shakespearean drama, Patrick Stewart, who plays the character “Macbeth” is determined to become the king. He murders the king with the help of his wife and in the end he looses everything in life. Rupert Goold has created the psychological details of Macbeth in an authentic way and the chilling tragedy will get into your nerves. Patrick received the best actor award of Evening Standard and the Critics Circle award for Best Shakespearean performance. The other members of the cast are Michael Feast, Kate Fleetwood, Martin Turner, Ben Carpenter etc. This production has a sold out tag attached with it wherever it is staged, Broadway will not be different either.
