Joining the Aussie actress on stage will be Emma Corrin, best known for playing Princess Diana in season 4 of The Crown and, more recently, Cassandra Nova in Deadpool & Wolverine.

Blanchett is set to play fading actress Arkadina, while Corrin stars as the up-and-coming performer Nina.

Rounding out the lead cast is fellow The Crown actor Tom Burke as story writer Trigorin, and Kodi Smit-McPhee as Blanchett's playwright son Konstantin – making his West End debut.

The story follows these four artists when they meet at a country state and experience a series of conflicts like lost love, fame and unfulfilled potential.
