Ewan McGregor takes on first UK theatre role in 17 years
Ewan McGregor has described live theatre as “good for the soul”, as he announced he is to return to the London stage for the first time in 17 years.
The Scottish actor, who has starred in Trainspotting and Moulin Rouge, is set to star in My Master Builder in London’s West End between April and July next year.
McGregor told BBC News: “This is the longest I haven’t been on stage, and in honesty, I’ve missed it.”
Inspired by Henrik Ibsen’s 1892 play The Master Builder, the new show is written by US playwright Lila Raicek and will be directed by Michael Grandage.
