Great cast - what are the chances of this transferring to the Barbican?

Great cast - what are the chances of this transferring to the Barbican? Just a guess but I'd say high - I imagine Rupert Goold would have made it a condition and I don't think some of those actors would have signed on without a London transfer (or alternatively a USA run of course).

I am intrigued as to how different this will be to his production at the Royal & Derngate in Northampton twenty years ago.

I like Luke Thallon a lot, but wasn't planning on travelling to Stratford to see this. Now that the rest of the cast is announced though I think I may make a trip

Definitely coming to London, with also a New York run optioned to try and launch Luke more over there.
That might be Tammy Faye success dependent, but the RSC name should secure it despite Goold‘s flop rate over there.

Already booked on the strength of Luke Thallon, but this is a great cast. Can’t wait, and I’ve booked it as a double bill with Edward II, so even better.

So why is Goold directing this in the RSC and not the Almeida?

So why is Goold directing this in the RSC and not the Almeida? Goold has been doing a few non Almeida shows in the last few years so it's not that unusual.

I noticed R. Frecknall is back on the team sheet (twice) for the coming season. Some new folks, as well.
