The play, by Anna Ziegler, tells the story of Franklin, whose
use of X-ray diffraction images led to the discovery of DNA's
double helix structure in 1953.
Academy Award winner Kidman debuted on the British stage in the
1998 David Hare play "The Blue Room" at London's Donmar
Warehouse in a critically-acclaimed performance, described in
one review as "pure theatrical viagra".
She was nominated for an Olivier Award, London's premiere
theater awards, for her role.
British director Michael Grandage will direct "Photograph 51",
reuniting with Kidman following their feature film collaboration
"Genius".
The play, which will be staged at the Noel Coward Theater, sees
the return of Grandage's theater company to London's West End
following a successful run of productions in 2013/2014 such as
"Henry V" starring British actor Jude Law.
"Photograph 51" will run from September 14 until November 21.
