It’s a great cast on paper but what an idiotic move to announce it more than a year in advance. Even announcing 6 months in advance can be risky. Schedules change at the drop of a hat.

Feels desperate, as though they’re announcing it to try to drum up completion funds or boost memberships or send a message to the contractors that these are the celebs you’ll be pissing off if you don’t finish on time.

Unless there’s a secret commercial producer attached who has an ironclad agreement with each actor and is funneling them a massive fee in addition to the Public’s scale salary.

Incredible initial cast but announcing over a year in advance would seem to risk at least one or more of these actors dropping out. 
 

Edit: Ermengarde, we have to stop meeting like this!

Only interested if Hamish Linklater returns as Sir Andrew Aguecheek.

Holy ****! This is a cast that reminds me of some of the great starry casts of yore (in particular, the last production of Twelfth Night)  

Incredibly smart to announce early: it gets donors who haven’t been around much these past couple of years (…myself included) to get in line early for confirmed tickets next summer.

I wonder if this one will end up being filmed as well

Glad I'm not the only who saw this and though "this is way too early to announce a cast like that"

It may be early, but it is exciting!
