Jenny Sterlin & Brendan Titley to Support Star Alan Cumming in Macbeth

Double, double, toil and trouble! Jenny Sterlin and Brendan Titley will play a doctor and orderly, respectively, in the haunting revival of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, starring Tony winner (and Broadway.com video blogger!) Alan Cumming. In the new production, Cumming will take on nearly every role in the classic tragedy. Directed by John Tiffany and Andrew Goldberg, the previously announced production begins performances April 7, with opening night set for April 21 at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre.

Sterlin’s Broadway credits include Heartbreak House, Major Barbara and Design For Living (with Cumming). Off-Broadway, she has appeared in The Women of Lockerbie, Further Than the Furthest Thing and East Is East. Titley has appeared in the New York Shakespeare Festival productions of As You Like It, All’s Well That Ends Well and Measure for Measure. His other New York credits include The Steadfast, Henry IV, Pt. 1 and Miss Julie.

The new production is set in a clinical room deep within a dark psychiatric unit. Cumming stars as the lone patient, reliving the infamous story and inhabiting each role himself. Closed circuit television cameras watch the patient's every move as the walls of the psychiatric ward come to life in a visually stunning multi-media theatrical experience of Shakespeare's notorious tale of desire, ambition and the supernatural.
