The biggest news - in the biggest theatre - is that screen star David Oyelowo will be returning to the UK stage for the first time in almost 20 years to star as Shakespeare's embittered Roman general Coriolanus in the eponymous play. That'll run in the Olivier Theatre September 11-November 9, directed by NT regular Lyndsey Turner (last seen with 'The Witches').
In the Lyttelton theatre, Emma D'Arcy, Tobias Menzies and Nina Sosanya will star in 'The Other Place' (Sep 27-Nov 9) an intriguing adaptation of Sophocles's 'Antigone' by director Alexander Zeldin, who is known mostly for his social realist dramas about life in modern Britain.
Finally, the last play in the Dorfman before its refurbishment will be Tanika Gupta's new play, 'A Tupperware of Ashes' (Sep 25-Nov 15) which will star Meera Syal as a Michelin-starred chef whose mind starts slipping in a drama about the Indian spiritual cycle of death and rebirth that will be directed by Pooja Ghai.
