Macbeth press

Here's the Public Theater's March 21st press release about the casting of Ms Ehle as Lady Macbeth, in PDF format. Below I've extracted the relevant bits, but download the file to see Moises Kaufman and Liev Schreiber's CVs.

The Public Theater’s Artistic Director Oskar Eustis and Executive Director Mara Manus announce that Jennifer Ehle has been cast as Lady Macbeth opposite Liev Schreiber in this summer’s production of Macbeth. Directed by Moises Kaufman, Macbeth will begin previews at the Delacorte Theater on Tuesday, June 13th . Performances will continue through Sunday, July 9th. The press opening will be announced at a later date. Shakespeare in the Park will mark the culmination of The Public’s year-long 50 th Anniversary Celebration.

Macbeth takes place in a world torn by war, in which treachery, ambition and superstition rule. Macbeth is a victorious war general who applies the rules of war to domestic politics and in the process turns his country upside down. This savage political thriller has never been more timely.
