Keira Knightley makes debut in the Theater

NEW PROJECT !!!
"Keira is to make her London theatre debut in December, in a retelling of Moliere's 17th Century comedy The Misanthrope. She will play Jennifer, a flirtatious Hollywood film star who seduces the leading man, played by Damian Lewis. Keira is said to be "terrified but excited" at landing the role, and has stressed that she will not be the star of the show. However, it will of course be Keira who will bring in the ticket sales for the play, which opens with previews at The Comedy Theatre south of Leicester Square on December 7th and goes on until March 13th. There will be performances from Monday to Saturday at 7.30pm, plus a 2.30pm matinee on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Although not Keira's first theatre role (she performed in 'United States' and her mother's play 'After Juliet' among others), this will be her most demanding role of her career to date, and it will be her performance that will be scrutinized. Once again, it was The Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye who broke the story, and it's the 'Keira Knightley's stage debut ' angle that has populated the newswires and media all day.
