Matt Smith lands new major role in 'Adolescence' writer's new play - Geo News
Matt Smith is set to appear in a very different role as he prepares to play an alien in a new stage show.
The actor will lead The Humans, a new play which is based on Matt Haig's novel and written by Jack Thorne.
The story, however, starts when an alien is sent to Earth because humans are becoming too advanced.
To stop them, he takes over the body of Professor Andrew Martin, a maths teacher from Cambridge so but his mission does not go as expected.
As he spends more time among humans, he, meanwhile, starts to understand their feelings, their problems and the way they care for each other. His time on Earth slowly changes how he sees humanity.
The play, moreover, will be directed by Jeremy Herrin and will open at Theatre Royal Haymarket in London on October 30, 2027. It will run for 13 weeks.
Smith said: βIβm thrilled to be reuniting with Jeremy Herrin to bring Matt Haigβs The Humans to the stage for the first time, adapted by the brilliant Jack Thorne. Itβs going to be a blast.β
Haig also praised Smith and said he was the perfect choice for the main role. The full cast is yet to be announced.
