Actress Julia Stiles is set to make her Broadway debut with a reprisal of her role in David Mamet's hit play Oleanna, opening Oct. 11 at the Golden Theater in New York. The play tells the story of a power struggle between a university professor and one of his female students who accuses him of sexual harassment.
The Bourne Identity star first tackled the two-person show opposite Aaron Eckhart on London's West End stage in 2004. This time the 28-year-old actress will star opposite Bill Pullman who plays the college professor. Previews begin Sept. 29.
Stiles’ additional stage credits include Twelfth Night, Fran's Bed, and The Vagina Monologues. Her many films include 10 Things I Hate About You, Save the Last Dance, State and Main, Edmond, and the three Bourne movies - The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum.
Pullman last appeared on Broadway in The Goat, or Who is Sylvia?, for which he received a Drama Desk nomination. He was also Drama Desk-nominated for the Off-Broadway production of Peter and Jerry and received a Helen Hayes Award nomination for The Subject Was Roses. He is best known for his starring roles in films such as Independence Day, Sleepless in Seattle, Ruthless People, While You Were Sleeping, Spaceballs, Bottle Shock, Noble Son, and the recently-released Surveillance.
