National Theatre To Bring Macbeth To Wales Millennium Centre

Posted byAndy HowellsPosted inTheatreTags:, ,

Scottish actor Michael Nardone, well known for his roles in BBC One’s The Night Manager and HBO’s Rome, will play the title role in the National Theatre’s touring production of Macbeth, when it plays Wales Millennium Centre from 19 – 23 March 2019.

Following its sell-out London run last year, Macbeth, directed by NT Artistic Director Rufus Norris and designed by Rae Smith propels Shakespeare’s classic title into a post-apocalyptic world of anarchy and uncertainty.
