This comes from one of those crazy British tabloids, so who knows if it's true or not, but if so it looks like an interesting role for her. Also check out the little tid bit about the baby.

Anne-Marie Duff will play a ‘sexual predator’ in a powerful drama that marks her return to the stage following the birth of her son.
Last night the actress, who lives with her husband James McAvoy and their six-month-old son Andrew Duff McAvoy, was said to be ‘very excited’ about playing a woman on trial with her younger lover for the murder of her husband in the Old Vic’s production of Terence Rattigan’s Cause Celebre — an exploration of sexual and social mores in Thirties England.
Rattigan originally wrote Cause Celebre for broadcast on radio in 1975 and based his work on the real-life court case of Alma Rattenbury, who stood in the dock with her 18-year-old boyfriend George Percy Stoner accused of murdering Rattenbury’s husband Francis at their Bournemouth home.
But the story that hit the headlines was the fact that Alma had committed adultery with a youth 20 years her junior.
‘It’s a sensational play about English attitudes, and pitches sexual freedom against the stifling morality of 1930s England,’ said Kate Pakenham, producer at the Old Vic, where Cause Celebre will run from March 17 through to June 11 — the day of Rattigan’s centenary.
Pakenham observed that Rattigan deliberately chose to make the play ‘about a woman as a sexual predator . . . it’s as if the sexes have been reversed’.
Anne-Marie, a brilliant stage actress, will surely bring a richness to the role of Alma. She had wanted to be part of the Neal Street-Old Vic Bridge Project that ran in the summer, but withdrew late last year when she became pregnant.
Cause Celebre will be directed by Thea Sharrock, who staged the acclaimed National Theatre production of Rattigan’s After The Dance.
Sharrock explained that Cause Celebre had another intriguing character in the form of the jury forewoman who, initially, represents the stiff-backed, upright majority of England — until details of her own private life are revealed.
Helen Mirren and David Morrissey played Alma and Stoner (renamed George Wood in the play) in a TV version back in the Eighties.

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.
Duff's performance in the title role of Shaw's Saint Joan at the National Theatre in 2007 won her an Evening Standard Theatre Award, a South Bank Show Award and The Critics' Circle Award. 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."
