‘Outlander’ Star Sam Heughan, Adrian Lester and Ncuti Gatwa Lead Royal Shakespeare Company’s Globe-Spanning Season


'Outlander' star Sam Heughan debuts in 'Macbeth' as Royal Shakespeare Company unveils global 2025/26 season with Adrian Lester and Ncuti Gatwa.

The Royal Shakespeare Company is betting big on star power and global reach with its 2025/26 season, headlined by “Outlander” heartthrob Sam Heughan making his RSC debut in “Macbeth” and Olivier winner Adrian Lester taking on “Cyrano de Bergerac.” The international expansion continues with the U.S. premiere of “Kyoto” at Lincoln Center’s Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater this fall, featuring Tony nominee Stephen Kunken reprising his role as oil lobbyist Don Pearlman. Other highlights include Josh Roche’s revival of his two-part “Forsyte Saga” with original cast members Fiona Hampton, Joseph Millson and Flora Spencer-Longhurst returning, and the world stage premiere of musical “The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind,” directed by former Bush Theatre artistic director Lynette Linton.
