Theater lovers who love Shakespeare must be thrilled with this season, which has turned out to be the theatrical equivalent of a greatest
hits album featuring nearly all the Bard’s most beloved plays.
So far I’ve done a
Twelfth Night and a Richard III (which I actually see tonight) in repertory on Broadway, A Midsummer Night’s
Dream and a Julius Caesar off-Broadway, two Romeo & Juliets, one on and one
off Broadway, and the NT Live simulcast of Othello.
Next up for me is Lincoln
Center Theatre’s production of Macbeth, starring Ethan Hawke and the multi-Olivier
Award-nominated actress Anne-Marie Duff as the murderously ambitious thane and his wife. Plus there's a badass all-male trio of witches
played by three of New York’s most badass character actors: Malcolm Gets, Byron
Jennings and John Glover (click here to read a preview piece about them).
And seeing what theater people call "The Scottish Play" could be
next for you too because the folks at Lincoln Center have given me two free
tickets to give away.
But we’ll have to move fast
because the tickets are only good for performances until Dec. 14 and the
reservations must be made by Dec. 4.
So, email me the name of the last actor to play Macbeth on Broadway at jan@broadwayandme.com (sorry about the technical glitch; the address is jan@broadwayandme.com) by midnight this Friday, Nov. 22, and I’ll go through my usual ritual of picking a name out of a hat and then will announce the winner on Saturday.
