It has been announced that Stephen Fry will make his Broadway debut later this year when the Globe's all-male productions of Twelfth Night and Richard III transfer to Broadway.
The Tony Award winning Mark Rylance will reprise his role of Olivia in Twelfth Night and as the title role in Richard III. The productions, which ran in the West End earlier this year, will open 10th November 2013 (previews from 15th October) at the Belasco Theatre.
Stephen Fry plays Malvolio in Twelfth Night, the role marked his return to acting (since he walked out of a production of Simon Gray's Cell Mates in 1995). The productions will play a limited 16-week run, marking the Broadway debut of Shakespeare's Globe.
The show's producers said "These productions show how laugh-out-loud funny, thrillingly theatrical and immediate Shakespeare plays can be. To see Mark Rylance, who is one of the world's greatest, most accomplished and acclaimed stage actors, and the remarkable Shakespeare's Globe company in these two uniquely staged extraordinary productions is an unforgettable experience."
