Ewan McGregor & Rufus Sewell To Take On Shakespeare At The Globe

EWAN McGREGOR and RUFUS SEWELL are to team up as part of a madcap SHAKESPEARE experiment at London's Globe theatre.

The two actors will play multiple roles in Hamlet as part of a midnight production of the classic play on 6 September (08).

It will mark the one-year anniversary of The Factory theatre troupe's first frenetic hit, during which castmates swapped characters during the show.

The idea became an instant hit and sold out shows have been taking place in and around London every Sunday for the past year.

They are advertised online at the last minute.

The one-off Globe anniversary show, in which Sewell and McGregor will play multiple characters, will also feature actor Will Keen, Angus Wright and "an exceptionally special guest".
