Breaking Baz: ‘Outlander’s Sam Heughan Set For Murderous Reign As Macbeth In Royal Shakespeare Company Debut
'Outlander' Star Sam Heughan is set for a murderous reign as the titular Thane who would be king in 'Macbeth' for his Royal Shakespeare Company debut.
She’s also a prominent presence on TV, having appeared as Wallis Simpson in The Crown and as Isabel Kirby, the duplicitous MI6 British intelligence service deputy chief of staff in Peacock’s hit The Day of the Jackal. As a student, he watched the video version of Patrick Stewart essaying the once loyal and valiant general-turned-treasonous killer of a king in director Rupert Goold’s celebrated production that played the West End and Broadway. The new 2025-26 season announced by RSC co-artistic directors Evans and Harvey also incudes a musical adaptation of The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, based on the memoir by William Kamkwamba written with Bryan Mealer and the 2019 film directed by Chiwetel Ejiofor for Potboiler Productions.
