ADVERTISLONDON (AP) — Kristin Scott Thomas is about to don Helen Mirren's tiara.
Producers announced Friday that Scott Thomas will
star as Queen Elizabeth II in a new West End production of "The
Audience." Mirren won an Olivier Award for the original 2013 production
of Peter Morgan's play, which explores the monarch's relationships with
the dozen prime ministers who have served during her six-decade reign.
The Mirren production, directed by two-time Tony Award winner Stephen
Daldry, is due to open on Broadway in February.
Daldry will also direct the new London production,
which begins previews April 21 at the Apollo Theatre. Scott Thomas,
whose films include "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and "Only God
Forgives," is starring in Sophocles' "Electra" at London's Old Vic
Theatre.
