Star Treak actor Zachary Quinto will star alongside David Harewood in London’s West End from November.

The pair will lead the cast of a new production of James Graham’s Best of Enemies.

Set in 1968, the show explores the nature of political feuding in the age of mass media.

Quinto will make his West End debut in the role of Gore Vidal, joining the returning David Harewood (who appeared in the show at the Young Vic).

Quinto said: “Living and working in London has long been an aspiration of mine. But to be making my West End debut in such a thrilling and relevant play – amongst such a distinguished creative team – and playing such a scorching and complex character as Gore Vidal – far exceeds my expectations of what living and working in London would look like… I’m full of gratitude and excitement.

The play opens at the Noel Coward Theatre on 14th November for a 14-week run.
