AnnaSophia Robb Begins Work on Macbeth
AnnaSophia Robb is prepping for her next role. The actress started rehearsals on her new play, Macbeth with Sharlene Cruz, Isabelle Fuhrman, Sophie Kelly-Hedrick, Ismenia Mendes, AnnaSophia Robb, Lily Santiago, and Ayana Workman.
In the play, “On an autumn afternoon, in an empty lot outside the city, seven girls meet up to do a play. School uniform tartan transforms in this American urban wasteland. The girls are witches, ghosts, and kings. They hurl headlong into the unchecked passions of Macbeth—in Shakespeare’s original text—as the line between real life and blood fantasy quickly blurs. Through prophecies and smartphones, unexpected resonances emerge from Shakespeare’s dark nightmare of ambition gone awry. These young women discover what’s done cannot be undone.”
The play is told by an all female cast and it will begin performances on May 7 at the Red Bull Theatre in New York City.
