James McAvoy, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Kit Harington and Christopher Eccleston will appear on stage in London next month for a special charity performance.

They are among the cast of Children’s Monologues which is being staged at the Royal Court on October 25 in aid of Danny Boyle’s charity, Dramatic Need.

The production is being staged by Boyle and will see the actors dramatise the testimonies of children growing up in rural South Africa.

Other actors taking part include Josh Hartnett, Zawe Ashton, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Alfie Allen, Daniel Kaluuya, Rose Leslie and Gugu Mbatha-Raw.

You can find out more about the event at the charity’s official website.

October 14: Benedict Cumberbatch and Nicole Kidman have now joined the cast. And it looks like tickets are still available.
