Miller set to make Broadway debut

The Roundabout Theatre Company runs two Broadway venues

Actress Sienna Miller is to make her New York stage debut this autumn, it has been announced.

She will play a wealthy young woman who has a relationship with a servant in Patrick Marber's After Miss Julie, the Roundabout Theatre Company has said.

The three-character play, an update of 19th century classic Miss Julie by Swedish playwright August Strindberg, is set in 1940s England.

The company is yet to announce in which theatre the production will be staged.

Update

The Roundabout Theatre Company runs two Broadway theatres - Studio 54 and the American Airlines Theatre.

Other casting and performance dates will also be announced at a later date.

Marber's play updates Strindberg's Miss Julie to the eve of the Labour Party's 1945 election victory.

Last year, Miller, 27, won �53,000 in damages from a photographic agency over claims of harassment.

Miller sued Big Pictures UK Limited and founder Darryn Lyons over what she called an "intolerable" campaign by their photographers.
