Photograph 51 with Nicole Kidman

NICOLE KIDMAN RETURNS TO THE WEST END

Nicole Kidman will return to the West End stage with the Michael Grandage Company in September 2015.

Nicole will play the role of Rosalind Franklin in Photograph 51, a new play by Anna Ziegler. The production is the play’s UK premiere and reunites Grandage and Kidman following their recent collaboration on the feature film Genius.

Kidman has played to sell-out houses in the West End before in the production The Blue Room.

WHAT IS PHOTOGRAPH 51 ABOUT?

Does Rosalind Franklin know how precious her photograph is? In the race to unlock the secret of life it could be the one to hold the key. With rival scientists looking everywhere for the answer, who will be first to see it and more importantly, understand it? Anna Ziegler’s extraordinary play looks at the woman who cracked DNA and asks what is sacrificed in the pursuit of science, love and a place in history.
