And tiny trickles of information have started to leak out for post-2009 productions as well. John Mackay will be playing Octavius Caesar in the Michael Boyd-directed Antony and Cleopatra in 2010, while Katy Stephens is set to play Regan for David Farr in the 2010 King Lear. Watch this space for more future information; whatever comes up will be shared!
