Hattie Morahan will make her West End debut in a reprise of her award-winning performance in the Young Vic's acclaimed production of A Doll's House, which will be revived at the Duke of York's theatre this autumn.
The transfer means that playwright Simon Stephens, who adapted Henrik Ibsen's classic, will have two plays running in the West End simultaneously, as his stage version of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time has had its run extended until October 2014.
It's also the Young Vic's first such transfer in more than five years and stands as evidence of the subsidised sector's increasing interest in its commercial potential, since the theatre is co-producing the 12-week run.
With that, however, comes a pledge to keep ticket prices down. More than 29,000 tickets will be priced in line with the Young Vic's home rates, including making 100 at every performance available for £10.
Morahan, who was named best actress at both the Evening Standard and Critics' Circle awards, will once again play Nora, the woman who walks out on her family, with Dominic Rowan returning as her husband, Torvald. Nick Fletcher and Steve Toussaint will also reprise their roles in director Carrie Cracknell's production.
The production inspired a short film spinoff as part of the Guardian and Young Vic partnership, Cracknell directing Morahan in Nora: A Short Reponse to Ibsen's A Doll's House, written by Nick Payne.
