The 28-year-old actress, who is married to musician Marcus Mumford, has returned to her hometown to film her new movie 'Suffragette' with Meryl Streep, and to star alongside Bill Nighy in 'Skylight', reported Contactmusic.
"I'm really happy to do something in London. And to go home to my house every night, and see my friends and family, and have people who never usually get to see me on stage see it. There's something about doing it in a hometown that feels a bit special," Mulligan said.
Quizzed on what she thinks of the theatre where 'Skylight' will open next month, she said, "It's one of those places that's so magical. The Wyndham is the kind of theatre that just speaks to the seven-year-old girl in me.
"I imagine there'll be light bulbs around the mirrors in our dressing room," she said.
