Repercussion Theatre Announces the Cast of Shakespeare-in-the-Park 2011, Macbeth
Montreal, July 6th, 2011 – This year’s cast of Repercussion Theatre’s Shakespeare-in-the-Park summer tour of Macbeth will feature a dynamic mix of emerging new talents and some of Montreal’s best in English theatre.
Arianna Bardesono will be directing this year’s performance. This up-and-coming international director is also the founder of the Montreal-based theatre company Odelah Creations.
Paul Hopkins, Repercussion’s Artistic Director, will confront his inner demons in the lead role of Macbeth. Hopkins has acted for 20 years in theatre, television and film, including roles in theatres across Canada.
Anana Rydvald began her acting career in Scandinavia, and since coming to Montreal, co-founded the company Mask On! Productions, and created the Level 4 Theatre. This award-winning actress will have blood on her hands as Lady Macbeth.
Karl Graboshas, graduate of the National Theatre School of Canada, will haunt the stage as Banquo. A well-versed stage and film actor, Graboshas will be in the upcoming film Goon this fall.
Nathan Barrett returns to the Repercussion stage this year as Malcolm. Despite graduating from the National Theatre School of Canada just last year, Barrett’s list of credits is quickly growing.
Attila Clemann returns to the stage as Macduff. Clemann is a multi-disciplinary theatre artist who, on top of acting, is a playwright, set designer, cabinetmaker, sound designer and puppeteer.
Tim Hine will take up the Repercussion stage as Duncan. A seasoned stage actor, he has appeared in Fallen Angels at the Segal Theatre and The Assumption of Empire at Mainline.
Chala Hunter, another emerging talent and graduate of the National Theatre School, will play Lennox in this year’s production.
Dustin Kagan-Fleming, a member of the Royal West Academy Bardolators and Repercussion’s youngest actor at 14 years old, will be playing Macduff’s Son.
Samantha Mcgarry, a third-year Concordia Theatre student, will join our line-up as Lady Macduff. This will be Mcgarry’s first classical piece.
