Hamilton star Reuben Joseph to make his RSC debut as Macbeth
The Guardian
|June 13, 2023
“They think me Macbeth,” sings Reuben Joseph in the West End production of Hamilton, quoting the Scottish king’s famous line “tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow” in the song Take a Break
Now Joseph is set to go straight from playing the lead in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hit musical to the title character of Shakespeare’s tragedy in his RSC debut this summer.
Reuben’s final performance as Alexander Hamilton will take place this weekend and in two months he takes to the stage as Macbeth at the Royal Shakespeare theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon.
“I don’t think there’s a single Scottish actor who hasn’t dreamed of getting their hands on the part of Macbeth,” said Joseph, who trained at Glasgow Clyde College and graduated in 2018. He was playing Angus in the Almeida’s 2021 production The Tragedy of Macbeth when he was approached to audition for Hamilton.
