Craig ’s Broadway return halted
Daniel Craig ’s return to Broadway in a new version of “Macbeth” has been temporarily halted after the actor contracted COVID -19.
Wednesday’s matinee and evening performances were canceled when the James Bond actor tested positive. When he’ll return was not immediately known.
Craig stars in a revival of William Shakespeare’s tragedy, with Ruth Negga making her Broadway debut playing Lady Macbeth.
“Macbeth” is playing at the Lyceum Theatre, with an opening set for April 28. Tony Award-winner
Sam Gold is directing.
Craig was last on Broadway in a 2013 revival of Harold Pinter’s “Betrayal” opposite his wife, Rachel Weisz, and directed by
Mike Nichols. Craig also starred opposite Hugh Jackman in 2009’s “A Steady Rain.”
