This anticipated performance will take place at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London, beginning in March 2026, under the direction of award-winning Robert Icke. Sink expressed her excitement, stating that performing in one of Shakespeare's most famous plays has been a lifelong dream. Jupe, only 20 years old, will take on the challenge of his first stage performance, emphasizing the unique opportunity this role brings. Sink's impressive resume includes a Tony Award nomination for John Proctor Is the Villain and significant roles in films like The Whale and O'Dessa.

The production marks a significant milestone for both actors as they transition from screen to stage.
