London Odds & Ends: Glee's Dianna Agron to Star in McQueen, GoT's Kit Harington Eyes Stage Return & More

Here's a quick roundup of London stories you may have missed today.

Dianna Agron Set for McQueen
Glee star Dianna Agron and stage vet Stephen Wight (Don Juan in Soho) will take on the roles of Dahlia and Lee McQueen, respectively, in the world premiere of James Phillips’s play McQueen. Directed by John Caird, the show is set on a single London night and steps into the fairy story landscape of the late fashion designer Alexander McQueen's mind. The production begins performances at the St. James Theatre on May 12, with opening nights scheduled for May 19 and May 20.

Kit Harington Eyes 2016 Stage Return
Game of Thrones’ Kit Harington is aiming to return to his stage roots. Before spending literally years shooting in snow as Jon Snow, Harington made his name on the boards, originating the role of Albert Narracott in London’s War Horse. He told the Daily Mail that he is considering going back to the theater in 2016. No word yet on the project or location, but we (of course!) think it’s time he followed his Thrones co-star Emilia Clarke and made his Broadway debut!

Judi Dench & More to Star in The Vote
This sounds like an “Event” with a capital “E”! Mother-daughter duo Tony and Oscar winner Judi Dench and Finty Williams, Broadway alums Paul Chahidi and Hadley Fraser, Catherine Tate and more will star in The Vote. Set in a fictional London polling station, the play, written by Finding Neverland’s James Graham, dramatizes the final ninety minutes before the polls close in this year’s U.K. General Election. There will be two weeks of performances at the Donmar Theatre from April 24 through May 6 in the run-up to a live TV broadcast on May 7 (the day the Brits go to the polls).
