New York's Off-Broadway stage will see some major British star power next year. According to the New York Times, David Oyelowo and Daniel Craig are both on board to star in the New York Theater Workshop's revival of Othello.

Oyelowo will take on the titular Moor of Venice, while Craig will play his devious tormentor, Iago -- marking perhaps the first time two James Bonds have appeared together onstage. (Oyelowo will voice the British spy in an audiobook.)
The production will be directed by Sam Gold, who won a Tony for his work in Fun Home.
Exact dates and additional cast have yet to be announced, but the New York Times reports a limited run, due to the actors' restricted availability.
While the play won't debut until next fall, it would be wise to get your wallets ready now -- it will undoubtedly be the hot ticket of the season, exacerbated by a limited run in a 199-seat theater.
