The smallest cast is:
9 men, 1 boy/adolescent, 4 women
Men:
Actor 1: Duncan, Old Siward, Old Man, Third Murderer, King
Actor 2: Malcolm, Second Murderer, King
Actor 3: Donalbain, Menteth, Doctor, First Murderer, Lord, King
Actor 4: Macbeth
Actor 5: Banquo, Cathness, Seyton
Actor 6: Macduff, Sergeant, First Apparition, King
Actor 7: Lennox, King
Actor 8: Rosse, King
Actor 9: Angus, English Doctor, Porter, King
Boy: Fleance, Young Siward, Son to Macduff, Second Apparition, Third Apparition, Servant
Women:
Actor 1: Lady Macbeth, King
Actor 2: First Witch, Lady Macduff
Actor 3: Gentlewoman, Second Witch
Actor 4: Third Witch, Messenger
Notes: If the Hecate scenes are included, four more women (for the second set of three witches) are required. That brings the total cast to 9 men, 1 boy/adolescent, and 8 women (only 5 women if the witches are double-cast).
The procession of the Kings represents the succession of Scottish monarchs up to James VI. The previous monarch was Mary Queen of Scots, justifying the use of Lady Macbeth in the procession, as otherwise an extra male is required.
Do you have any casting alternatives?
