NEW YORK, Jan 13 (Reuters)- British actress Carey Mulligan
will star in a new off-Broadway theatre adaptation of a 1960's
Ingmar Bergman film, the show's production company announced on
Thursday.
Oscar-nominated Mulligan will play the role of Karin in
"Through a Glass Darkly," an adaptation of the Swedish
director's 1961 film of the same name set on an island where
family tensions flare.
Mulligan is no stranger to the New York stage having acted
in a production of "The Seagull" in 2008. She has swiftly
become one of Hollywood's hottest properties with roles in
"Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" and the screen adaptation of
Kazuo Ishiguro's novel "Never Let Me Go."
Her performance as a London school girl in the low-budget,
coming-of-age movie "An Education" earned her an Oscar
nomination.
"Through a Glass Darkly" will begin previews on May 13th
and officially run from June 6 through July 3 at the New York
Theatre Workshop.
