Barbara Broccoli, who produces the James Bond movies, is also producing the play and has said she is “thrilled” to be teaming back up with Craig. Directed by Tony Award winning Sam Gold, who is best known for the musical, Fun Home, he has said he “can’t wait to get started” on the production. In a statement, he added: “I am beyond thrilled to be participating in this historic season as theatre reemerges, and to be working with two such masterful actors on one of dramatic literature’s most challenging and epic dramas.” Macbeth will see Craig return to Broadway for the first time since 2016 where he appeared in a production of Othello alongside David Oyelowo.
