Clive Owen, most recently seen on Broadway in M. Butterfly, is returning to the West End for the first time in 18 years, as defrocked priest Reverend T. Lawrence Shannon in Tennessee Williams' The Night of the Iguana.

Directed by James Macdonald (the recent Broadway revival of True West), the Williams classic also stars Game of Thrones' Julian Glover as Nonno, Breaking Bad's Anna Gunn as Maxine (the role created on Broadway by Bette Davis and on film by Ava Gardner), and The Crown's Lia Williams as Hannah Jelkes.

Set at a dilapidated hotel in Mexico in the 1940s, the 1961 drama finds a handful of characters—a defrocked priest, the woman who runs the hotel, a sensitive artist traveling with her grandfather—meeting and changing one another as a tropical storm lashes the town.
