Actor Kevin Spacey is heading back to the London stage to reprise the character of Clarence Darrow, which he first portrayed over two decades ago in TV movie 'Darrow'.
The 54-year-old 'House of Cards' star will play the pioneering 19th century American lawyer in a one-man play at The Old Vic venue, marking his 10th anniversary as the theatre's artistic director, reported Deadline.
Spacey also tackled the role of Darrow in a 2009 Old Vic revival of 'Inherit The Wind'.
"I am thrilled to be returning to The Old Vic stage, for the first time performing in the round, such an exciting transformation of our Old Vic space for actors and audiences alike," Spacey said in a statement.
"As I celebrate ten years at the helm of this very special theatre it feels great to be returning to the character of Clarence Darrow, whom I played both onstage in 'Inherit the Wind' and 22 years ago in the Pbs film 'Darrow', directed by one of my 'House of Cards' collaborators, John Coles," he added.
