Clive Owen will star in James Macdonald's production of The Night of the Iguana, alongside Anna Gunn, Lia Williams and Julian Glover.
The story began as a short one-act play written by Williams in 1959, before he developed it into a full-length play. Over the following two years, he staged two different versions of the play, before settling on a three-act version with opened on Broadway at the Royale Theatre. It has since been staged in the US many times, and was adapted for the screen in 1964, starring Richard Burton.
The Night of the Iguana last received a major staging in the West End in 2005, when Woody Harrelson, Clare Higgins and Jenny Seagrove starred in a production at the Lyric Theatre directed by Anthony Page. In a review, LondonTheatre.co.uk said that despite the show being over 40 years old, it "still has a freshness, intensity and relevance that modern audiences can certainly appreciate".
