The New York Times reports that Jennifer Ehle is headed alongside Liev Schreiber to Central Park in the Public Theater's new production of Macbeth. Kicking off the Public Theater's new summer season, the show will be directed by Moises Kaufman, with performances to begin on June 13.

Ehle, who recently starred in the Old Vic production of The Philadelphia Story, Ehle is an acclaimed stage and screen actress. She won the 2000 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play for the revival of Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing, and most recently appeared on Broadway in Design for Living. Her film credits include Possession, Sunshine and Wilde, but she is perhaps best known for playing Elizabeth Bennet in the wildly popular 1996 A&E/BBC miniseries of "Pride and Prejudice." She also won a BAFTA for her portrayal of the willful Austen heroine.

Schreiber, who most recently won a Tony award on Broadway portraying Richard Roma in the Glengarry Glen Ross, has previously been seen on Broadway in In the Summer House and Betrayal. An acclaimed interpreted of Shakespeare, he has appeared off-Broadway in Henry V, Othello, Hamlet, Cymbeline, Macbeth, and The Tempest. Schreiber's screen credits include the remake of The Manchurian Candidate, The Sum of All Fears, Kate & Leopold, Scream 3, Hamlet, Sphere, A Walk on the Moon and Big Night. He recently wrapped his first big screen directorial project, an adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer's best-selling novel Everything is Illuminated.
