    Kenneth Branagh to Make New York Stage Debut with ‘Macbeth’

    The production in Manchester was staged in a church, but the New York production will be staged at the recently renovated Park Avenue Armory, which takes up an entire city block on the Upper East Side.  So one could say it’s getting a bit of a size upgrade.  Branagh himself pointed that out in the announcement, saying, “I am delighted that we have the chance to recreate Macbeth in this epic setting.”  Also making her New York stage debut is Alex Kingston, who will again portray Lady Macbeth.

    The two productions have a connection in Alex Poots, who is the artistic director of both the Manchester International Festival and the Park Avenue Armory.  He said, “We are thrilled that Kenneth Branagh will be coming to the Armory to recreate this iconic role following his performance in Manchester this summer.  And I am particularly excited that this production will mark his New York stage debut.”

    Branagh and Macbeth won’t be making it to New York until June of next year, so Branagh’s co-stars don’t have to worry about getting stabbed by accident for several months.
