From Mar. 16 to Jun. 6 next year, the pair will perform the Robert Icke-directed production at the Harold Pinter Theater in London.
Sink said: “I was a Broadway kid, so I’ve always dreamed about doing a show in the West End. To get to do that in one of Shakespeare’s most famous plays under Rob’s direction with Noah will be such an exciting challenge. London theater has this incredible energy, and I can’t wait to be a part of it.”
Jupe has appeared in A Quiet Place, Honey Boy and Ford v Ferrari. He will soon be seen on screen as Hamlet in Chloe Zhao’s Hamnet. He said: “Theatre is something I’ve always been intrigued by. It seems like such a challenging and rewarding experience for an actor. So I was very excited to hear about this project. The combination of Romeo, Rob and Sadie is an opportunity you simply cannot turn down.”
Icke, who nabbed an Olivier for his production of Oedipus with Mark Strong and Lesley Manville (now running on Broadway), added: “This is one of the plays I’ve returned to again and again, and the opportunity to tackle it in London with two wonderful young actors is hugely exciting. It’s an explosive play, filled with heat and life, which confronts us with the fragility of our lives are and the momentousness of every last second. I can’t wait to get started.”
Joining Icke on the creative team are set and costume designer Hildegard Bechtler (After the Dance), lighting designer Jon Clark (The Lehman Trilogy), sound designer Tom Gibbons (People, Places & Things), and video designer Ash J. Woodward (Dear England).
Further casting and creative team is to be announced.
