"Macbeth," starring Daniel Craig and Ruth Negga, opens on Broadway
NEW YORK -- Hollywood hit the red carpet for the opening of the Broadway revival of "Macbeth" on Thursday.
Daniel Craig and Oscar nominee Ruth Negga star in the new production directed by Sam Gold at Broadway's Longacre Theatre.
Craig plays the Scottish King, and Negga is his tormented Lady Macbeth in her Broadway debut.
"One of the reasons these plays have lasted so long is they still speak to us today," Craig said.
"You could go on for days and years about how amazing Shakespeare is, his writing and how he so astutely interrogates the human psychology," Negga said.
"Macbeth" is the final Broadway opening of this season. Craig and Negga are performing in a limited 15-week run until July 10.
Tony nominations will be announced May 9.
