Anne-Marie Duff will star in the Old Vic's previously announced production of Terence Rattigan's final play, Cause Célèbre, which begins performances March 17, 2011, prior to an official opening March 29.

She was also nominated for an Olivier. Other leading theatre roles include playing Cordelia in King Lear (National Theatre), Collected Stories (Theatre Royal, Haymarket), Days of Wine and Roses (Donmar Warehouse) and War and Peace (National Theatre). Her film and TV credits include Channel 4's "Shameless" and Elizabeth I in "Elizabeth – The Virgin Queen," both of which shereceived BAFTA nominations for. Other credits include "Charles II," "Dr Zhivago," "Sinners," "The Last Station," "Nowhere Boy," "Margot," "The Magdalene Sisters," "French Film" and "Is Anybody There?"
The play is directed by Thea Sharrock, who said in a press statement, "Having just directed Terence Rattigan's second play, After the Dance, I am now thrilled to be part of his centenary celebrations next year with his last play, Cause Célèbre. I am absolutely delighted to be doing it with Anne-Marie Duff, one of the most exciting actresses of her generation, and I can't think of a better stage for it than the historic Old Vic, a first for both Anne-Marie and I, as well as for Rattigan."
