Liev Schreiber to Star in Macbeth at the Delacorte in the Summer
The Public Theater will offer William Shakespeare's Macbeth, directed by Moisés Kaufman, as the first offering of the 2006 season at Central Park's Delacorte Theatre. Tony winner Liev Schreiber will star, according to The New York Times.
Schreiber headlined a 2003 staging of Henry V in Central Park. He won a Tony Award last year for his performance in Glengarry Glen Ross and has also appeared on the Great White Way in In The Summer House and Betrayal. In addition to Henry V, his off-Broadway credits include The Tempest, All for One, Goodnight Desdemona, Hamlet, Escape from Happiness, Othello and The Mercy Seat. Schreiber, who was nominated for a 2000 Golden Globe and 2000 Emmy Award for his role as Orson Welles in HBO Television's RKO 281, also has numerous big and small screen credits. His next film, The Omen, will be released in July.
