The Old Vic is planning a star-studded 2013, with Sex And The City’s Kim Cattrall, James Earl Jones and Vanessa Redgrave taking to the London stage.
The actress famous for her role as the confident, provocative Samantha Jones will appear in a production of Tennessee Williams’s Sweet Bird of Youth as a fading star who quits Hollywood.
Redgrave and Jones will reform their West End partnership of Driving Miss Daisy to play the bickering lovers Beatrice and Benedick in Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, directed by Mark Rylance.
Terence Rattigan’s The Winslow Boy will also feature in the spring season.
The Old Vic’s artistic director Kevin Spacey said: "We're so proud of where we have gotten to in nine seasons, and for me this new season of work shows just how far the Old Vic has come.
"I couldn't be more proud that these greats of the theatre have chosen the Old Vic as their home in 2013 and delighted to bring more great productions to our audiences."
