Judith Light back on Broadway

Keira Knightley will have some onstage help making her Broadway debut next year from Tony Award-winner Judith Light, Constantine star Matt Ryan and Tony-winner Gabriel Ebert from Matilda the Musical.

The Roundabout Theatre Company said on Wednesday that the trio will co-star with Knightley in Therese Raquin, a stage adaptation of the Emile Zola novel. It will be directed by Evan Cabnet and begin previews on October 1.

Therese Raquin, written in 1867, is about a woman trapped in a loveless marriage who embarks on an illicit affair with a friend of her husband’s. The story has been adapted into a 1953 film starring Simone Signoret and another last year starring Elizabeth Olsen.

Light, the former Who’s the Boss? star, has won Tonys for Other Desert Cities and The Assembled Parties.
