Shaw will play Marnie, a shy and secretly self-hating storefront medium who is inhabited by a powerful witch's spirit.
A Tony Award nominee for Medea and a London stage regular, Shaw is also known for playing Aunt Petunia in the "Harry Potter" films. She is currently appearing in John Gabriel Boorkman at Dublin's Abbey Theatre; the production, also starring Alan Rickman and Lindsay Duncan, will come to Brooklyn this winter.
