Bell Shakespeare has today announced further cast members for its upcoming production of Macbeth, showing next year at Sydney Opera House from 25 February – 2 April, Canberra Theatre Centre from 14 – 22 April and Arts Centre Melbourne from 27 April – 14 May 2023.

2023 marks the 400th anniversary of the publication of Macbeth in Shakespeare’s First Folio, and Bell Shakespeare celebrates this moment with a new production set in the moody 1920s, post-World War I. Starring Logie Award winning actor Hazem Shammas, known for his work on TVs Safe Harbour and The Twelve, as the murderous Macbeth, alongside Jessica Tovey as Lady Macbeth, they are joined by just announced cast members Julia Billington, Jeremi Campese, James Lugton, Kyle Morrison and Jacob Warner.

Directed by Artistic Director Peter Evans, the production is a terrifying portrayal of moral collapse and an intense and compelling journey into the dark heart of humanity.
