Next season on London?s West End is shaping up to be a who?s who of British talent. Helen Mirren, Judi Dench, Daniel Radcliffe, Ben Whishaw and Jude Law are all starring in plays and Whishaw and Dench?s Skyfall director Sam Mendes is prepping a musical production of Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. James McAvoy is the latest to commit to walking the boards, taking on the title role in Macbeth which veteran theater director Jamie Lloyd is mounting as part of the Trafalgar Transformed season. McAvoy has played Macbeth before, albeit in a modernized BBC version in which the Scottish lord was transformed into a top chef. He was last on stage in 2009?s Three Days Of Rain, which Lloyd also directed. He?ll next be seen on screen in Danny Boyle?s Trance and is reprising his role of a young Charles Xavier in Bryan Singer?s X-Men: Days Of Future Past. In a growing trend to reach out to wider audiences, ticket prices for Macbeth will be slashed to ?15 on Mondays and ?10 for select shows. Michael Grandage is making a similar move with his new season that features Dench, Law and Radcliffe. Macbeth runs from February 9 to April 27.
