"The Americans" star Keri Russell is all set to star in the Broadway revival of Lanford Wilson's "Burn This".

The revival, to be directed by Tony winner Michael Mayer, will begin performances in March 2019 at a theatre to be announced, reported Variety.

The show, set in New York in the 1980s, "tells the story of four New Yorkers whose lives are uprooted by a young dancer's accidental death".

Driver, 34, plays Pale, a dangerous and sexy young man, who finds his life torn apart by the accidental death of a young dancer.

Russell, 42, will play Anna, a dancer and choreographer who finds herself drawn to Pale.

The original "Burn This" premiered off-Broadway in 1987 before transferring to Broadway. John Malkovich and Joan Allen starred as Pale and Anna, respectively.
