Shakespeare's Globe has announced the cast for their 16th annual Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank production, Macbeth. Providing more than 20,000 free tickets for students aged 11–16 from state secondary schools in London and Birmingham, the production will play exclusively to school groups between 3–30 March, with public performances to be held from 19 March – 16-April.
Eligible schools will also receive free workshops for students, free CPD for teachers, and online resources to support teaching and studying of Shakespeare plays at GCSE and A Level.
‘As young people continue to ask big questions about their future, I can't think of a better play to explore how personal ambition and the abuse of power can corrupt the individual and destroy nations,’ said director Sarah Frankcom. The cast will include Fiston Barek and Hannah Azuonye as the infamous Thane and Lady Macbeth.
