The 29-year-old 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star will play the title role in 'Therese Raquin', reported BBC.
Described as 'a tale of love, lust, betrayal, and guilt', the play will cast her as a young woman trapped in a loveless marriage who has an affair with one of her husband's friends.
The Roundabout Theatre Company show opens in October 2015 in New York. 'Therese Raquin' begins previews on October 1 and has its opening night on October 29 at a Broadway theatre yet to be announced.
The new version is by British playwright Helen Edmundson, who previously adapted the Leo Tolstoy novels 'Anna Karenina' and 'War and Peace' for the stage.
