The comedy will be directed by David Leveaux, who directed Wanamaker in Electra at the Donmar Warehouse in 1997 for which she won an Olivier Award.
Passion Play, which is about a 25-year marriage that is ripped apart, will open at the Duke Of York’s Theatre from 1 May 2013, and is produced by Tali Pelman.
The last major production of Nichol’s 1981 play was at the Donmar Warehouse and the Comedy Theatre in 2000 starring Cherie Lunghi and James Laurenson.

My husband and I saw this excellent play on Saturday and thought it was superbly acted by everyone and very clever. We thoroughly enjoyed it and love having Zoe Wanamaker as a neighbour – we live in Pewsey which is not too far away from her house! It certainly stands the test of time and I am surprised that I had not heard of this when I was younger living in London and often at the theatre myself.
