Ifans will have the leading role in Don Juan in Soho, Patrick Marber’s 21st-century adaptation of Moliere’s classic play, to run November 6-February 7. The production will be directed by Michael Grandage, the Donmar’s artistic director. Ifans’ film credits include Notting Hill, Vanity Fair, and Dancing at Lughnasa.

McDiarmid, who won this year’s Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play for Faith Healer, will take on the title role of David Eldridge’s adaptation of Ibsen’s John Gabriel Borkman, February 15-April 14. The show will co-star Wilton, who starred in the Donmar’s production of The Little Foxes.
