“I couldn’t be happier that we’ve attracted such a terrific cast,” enthuses Old Vic artistic director Kevin Spacey who’s also bringing Ethan Hawke over for a ‘reinterpretation’ of Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale.

Although relatively new to theatre, Corr’s screen credits include The Commitments, Evita and The Boys From County Clare, which has become a cult hit in the States.
