Capital Classic Theatre Company announces the cast of Macbeth
Greater Hartford Shakespeare Festival Production of “The Scottish Play” to run July 13-30 on the Campus of University of Saint Joseph in West Hartford
Be transported to a timeless world of ambition, power, and tragedy with Capital Classics’ staging of Shakespeare’s classic, Macbeth. This summer, they will bring the masterpiece to life on the storied grounds of the University of Saint Joseph in West Hartford, Connecticut. A must-see event for lovers of the arts, don’t miss your chance to be part of this timeless tale.
Heading the cast in two of Shakespeare’s most coveted roles are Capital Classics veterans Megan Gwyn (Macbeth) and Kiera Sheehan (Lady Macbeth). Playing the Weird Sisters who foretell the Macbeths’ ruthless rise (plus other roles) are Laura Sheehan, Sam Lundstrom, and Marie R. Altenor. Playing Macbeth’s rivals and victims are Tim Diebold (Duncan), Michael Hinton (Banquo), Joshua Eaddy (Ross), Jack Robert Harding (Macduff), Evan Ayer (Malcolm), Anna Pitblado (Fleance), Dane O’Leary-Clark (Seyton), Emma Joy Hill (Donalbain/Lady MacDuff), and Julia Sheehan (MacDuff’s son). Other murderers and warriors include Ell Zirolli and Aleksei Sandals.
Capital Classics Artistic Director Geoffrey Sheehan states, “The play’s production will be set when and where Shakespeare set it. As Shakespeare is especially genius at knowing who we are as humans, the thematic focus will be reflective of our current times regarding ambition, ruling power and the actions of those who want it, and the examination of the play’s focus on gender expectations.”
As Connecticut’s oldest continuously running-outdoor Shakespeare festival, Capital Classics has a reputation for making Shakespeare exciting, accessible and affordable. Audience members are encouraged to bring their family, friends, lawn chairs, blankets, and picnic dinners. Last summer, Capital Classics staged Much Ado About Nothing for its Greater Hartford Shakespeare Festival with a record-breaking production that attracted the largest crowds in its 31-year history.
The Greater Hartford Shakespeare Festival is held outdoors adjacent to the Bruyette Athenaeum (indoors in the case of rain or excessive heat) on the campus of the University of Saint Joseph, 1678 Asylum Avenue in West Hartford, Connecticut. Performances will be Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m.; Sundays at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults and $14 for students, seniors, and groups of 10 or more.
