Roles in the theaterA new trend has emerged in Hollywoodtrend: popular movie actors are leaving the silver screen en masse and heading straight to the stage. It has recently become known that Sienna Miller is preparing for her theatrical debut in New York. on the London stage. And now it has become known that Keira Knightley is preparing a play. The Hollywood diva has chosen Moliere's play "The Misanthrope". Knightley's role is not much different from what she had to play on screen. The star of "Pirates of the Caribbean" will play an American actress in love with one of the leading theater actors, Alcestis (Damian Lewis), in a modern interpretation of the classic production. Knightley's heroine, according to the director, is not much different from the actress herself in life, although the latter is perhaps a little calmer and more balanced. "I am happy that Kira likes her role so much, that she can find a lot of new things in it, which even I do not see. She finds it funny that she is a "big star" and will play a big star, she understands that she will certainly be ridiculed by critics. But she does not care, she likes doing what she is doing now," said the director of the play, Thea Sharrock.
