Cate Blanchett, Richard Roxburgh, Hugo Weaving and Geoffrey Rush are among those who’ll feature in Sydney Theatre Company’s 2015 season.

Artistic director Andrew Upton launched the STC season program, brimming with plays by Samuel Beckett, James Joyce, William Shakespeare, George Bernard Shaw, Tennessee Williams and Virginia Woolf, alongside new writing by local and international playwrights.

Weaving will star in Beckett’s Endgame (April-May); Roxburgh and Blanchett will feature in an Upton adaptation of Anton Chekhov called The Present (August-September); and Rush will make his return to STC for the first time in 22 years to play the titular role in King Lear (starting November).
