Joanna Lumley has landed a role in a Broadway play.

The actress will star in a revival of the comedy drama La Bete, the Daily Mail reports.

Mark Rylance and Frasier actor David Hyde Pierce will also appear in the production, which is about a theatre troupe in 17th century France.

The play will begin with a limited run in London this spring, before transferring to New York in the autumn.

It will be the first time Lumley has appeared on Broadway.
