The star will play a man who spent 22 years on death row after being wrongly conficted of murder.
Actor Adrien Brody is to take on his first stage role in London, in a play which follows the true story of a man who was wrongly convicted of murder.
The play depicts the story of Nick Yarris, a man who spent 22 years on death row for a crime he did not commit. However, while awaiting trial, he became a suspect in a different case. After reading a news story about a woman who was raped and murdered, Yarris claimed he knew who was responsible, in an attempt to curry favour with the authorities.
He remained in prison and on death row until 2004, when he was released after DNA evidence was re-examined. "This is a story steeped in truth, that exposes systematic injustice and apathy through hope and humanity." Greig's character will be seen trying to balance the pressures of work and parenting, when her own mother is admitted to hospital following a stroke.First performed in 2012, the show is a musical adaptation of a segment from Leo Tolstoy's 1869 novel War and Peace.
