Shakespeare’s Globe has announced the cast of Sam Wanamaker Playhouse productions opening in the new year: Cymbeline, directed by Jennifer Tang (Associate Director of The Young Vic Theatre, 2020–2022), and Three Sisters, a translation by Rory Mullarkey, directed by Caroline Steinbeis (We Want You To Watch, National Theatre).

Cymbeline runs from 10 January – 20 April. The cast comprises Aaron Anthony as Guiderius / Lord, Madeline Appiah as Woman / Cornelia / Belaria, Nigel Barrett as Lucius / Philario, Amanda Bright as Pisania, Gabrielle Brooks as Innogen, Silas Carson as Duke / Frenchman, Angelina Chudi as Ensemble / Cover, Nadi Kemp-Sayfi as Posthumus Leonata, Martina Laird as Cymbeline, Jordan Mifsúd as Cloten, Pierro Niel-Mee as Iachimo, and Saroja-Lily Ratnavel as Lady Helen / Arviraga.

Director Jennifer Tang says: “It is a privilege to be collaborating with such a talented, generous, and accomplished company of actors and artists to bring Cymbeline to life. What a wonderful opportunity to introduce new audiences to one of Shakespeare's hidden gems or, for those who already know the play, I hope the unique approach we’re taking will offer fresh and surprising insights into the world of Cymbeline—and our own."

Director Caroline Steinbeis says: “It's my absolute pleasure to be bringing you the first production of a Chekhov play at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. A more perfect match of a space and a text has never been. We have carefully put together this remarkable acting company to unlock a brand-new version of the text by Rory Mullarkey. I know audiences can look forward to an amazing night shared with this team of actors at the top of their game.”

Three Sisters is designed by Oli Townsend with Shiv Rabheru as Assistant Director, Anna Watson as Candlelight Designer, Oliver Vibrans as Composer, Haruka Kuroda as Fight and Intimacy Director, Aline David as Movement Director and Choreographer, and Rory Mullarkey as Translator.
