The force is going to be strong at the Old Vic in London next year when Star Wars star John Boyega takes to the stage.

Boyega has signed on to star in a new adaptation of Woyzeck, written by Jack Thorne – the same Jack Thorne who’s written the new Harry Potter play.

Woyzeck is about a lowly, downtrodden soldier who (spoiler) ends up killing his wife.

The production opens on February 25, 2017 and runs until April 15.

Priority booking is open now, with general booking starting on May 31 via the Old Vic’s website.
