Ewan McGregor to make his Broadway debut in Tom Stoppard play
Acclaimed director Sam Gold to direct McGregor in The Real Thing, opening October 2014
Ewan McGregor is gearing up make his Broadway debut, it was announced on Thursday. The Trainspotting actor will star in a revival of Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing at American Airlines theatre next year. McGregor will play Henry, a glib and unhappily married playwright, in the Roundabout Theatre Company production, which will run from 2 October 2014 until the following January.
It is a role – and, indeed, a play – with serious calibre on Broadway. Stoppard's drama has been produced twice before on Broadway, picking up Tony awards for best new play and best revival. Both productions delivered best actor and actress wins for its leads, with Glenn Close and Jeremy Irons scooping Tonys in 1984 and Stephen Dillane and Jennifer Ehle following in their footsteps in 2000, after the Donmar Warehouse revival transferred to New York.
