“Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble”
Hey everyone! So, I promised you some scoop on what Colm Feore is up now. It’s some pretty exciting stuff (for theatre fans at least). He has been officially cast as MacBeth in a production of the famous play. The performances run from June 1st to October 31st as part of the Statford Shakespeare Festival. If you’re going to be in Canada during that dates, you can get more information about the show by going to the Festival’s website.
I’m sure most people know about this play. It’s one of the more famous works about ambition taken way too far when a murder is committed so someone else can assume the position as ruler. Colm was quoted in a story about his appearance as saying this is a part you have to wait years and play every other type of part out there first before you can actually tackle it properly and he thinks now is the time for him to give it a shot. Congrats to him- I’m sure he’ll go a great job! Hopefully there will be clips posted somewhere for those of us who are unable to go. And if you are lucky enough? I hope you know we all expect a full report on the experience.
Here’s a funny coincidence for y’all. According to the cast listing, Geraint Wyn Davies is going to be playing Ducan. You might remember him as the vampire detective (no, not that one!) Nick Knight on the Canadian series Forever Knight. So… do you know why this is a coincidence? If you do post your answer in the comments and let’s see who can get it right! If you don’t…. don’t worry! I’ll have the answer tomorrow in another post.
I leave you with a little MacBeth clip thanks to ShakespeareandMore:
