The role will be only the lastest of Schreiber's Shakespearean turns for the Public Theater. He previously starred in Public productions of Hamlet, Othello, Cymbeline and Henry V. The latter two were at the Delacorte. He won an Obie Award for Cymbeline.

It will be Ehle's third stage appearance in New York. Aside from The Real Thing, she acted on Broadway in Noel Coward's Design for Living.
