Julia Stiles to tread Broadway boards

Rex Features

Julia Stiles is to make her Broadway debut in the hit play Oleanna.

The actress previously tackled the part in a production in London's West End in 2004, in which she appeared opposite Aaron Eckhart.

Oleanna tells the story of a university professor accused of sexual harassment by a female student and The Omen star commented that "everyone hates me" by the end of it.

"I'm coming to Broadway. I'm so excited... It's where I started. I did shows off-Broadway. I did plays at La Mama. And I'm now going to do David Mamet's Oleanna. The one project I most want to do," she told the New York Post.
