James McAvoy in the Welcome to the Punch trailer
Part I | Part II
James McAvoy to play Macbeth in radical, dystopian new version of the play.
The actor will portray the Scottish king in a radical production to be played in the round in a newly configured Trafalgar Studio in Whitehall to be known as Traf Transformed.
Lloyd will produce a series of four plays in the new space with designer Soutra Gilmour, which is being backed by the Ambassador Theatre Group.
Macbeth will run at Traf Transformed from February 9 until April 27.
“[Robbie] was just a myth before that. I think Joe Wright, the director of that film, often said, ‘I want him to be Christ-like,’ and I went, ‘I don’t know how you play that, mate.’ But I know what he means by that. He’s just so good. Anyway, it still gets me, that part.”
