Martin Shaw and Jenny Seagrove, co-stars in Judge John Deed, are to be reunited on the West End stage later this year, when they appear at London's Apollo Theatre in 'The Country Girl' by Clifford Odets. The play, which chronicles the story of an alcoholic actor and his wife, was adapted into a 1954 film starring Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly, and won two Oscars. This production, directed by Rufus Norris, runs from 6 October until 26 February, 2011.

Seagrove is a frequent performer on the West End stage, and has only recently finished a run in Alan Ayckbourn’s 'Bedroom Farce' at the Duke of York's. Shaw made his last London theatre appearance in 'A Man For All Seasons' at Theatre Royal Haymarket back in 2006.

Mark Rylance is to direct a fund-raiser set to take place at the Apollo Theatre on 18 April. The event – 'We Are One – A Celebration Of Tribal Peoples' - will feature appearances from the likes of Julie Christie, Gillian Anderson, Colin Firth, Michael Gambon, Derek Jacobi, Kevin Spacey, Ken Stott, Zoe Wanamaker, Mackenzie Crook and Juliet Stevenson.

It's all being held, as you might expect, in support of the tribal peoples mentioned in the show's name, and is inspired by Jo Eede’s recent book of the same name, which was published by human rights organisation Survival International, for which Rylance is an ambassador, and which will receive proceeds from the event.

Rylance says: "As a child, I was enriched and inspired by the lives and stories of the world's tribal peoples. As an adult, I have also been inspired by the ceaseless work of the organisation Survival International and their movement to protect these tribes, from the rainforest of the Amazon to the icy reaches of the Arctic. To celebrate 40 years of Survival’s work and enjoy the beauty of the spoken word from such rich oral cultures, I am gathering my friends from the theatre on the set of Jerusalem for a wonderful spring afternoon of eloquent recitals and stunning images from We Are One. To hear such moving words from our brothers and sisters who still live so intimately attached to their lands, is to be reminded that they have much to share with the world, and that we all have a deep need for a sense of belonging to each other, and to nature".

A casting update for the forthcoming West End production of Arthur Miller's 'All My Sons' has  been announced. 'Lost In Austen' actress Jemima Rooper will be joining previously announced stars David Suchet and Zoe Wanamaker in the show, as will Stephen Campbell Moore and Daniel Lapaine.

Rooper appeared at The National Theatre last year in 'The Power Of Yes', and will soon be seen in ITV's 'Bouquet Of Barbed Wire' remake. 'Ashes to Ashes' actor Campbell Moore's recent work includes his role in Alan Bennett's 'The History Boys', which he undertook in the West End and on Broadway, as well as in the film version of the play.

The play is to be directed  by Howard Davies, and runs at the Apollo Theatre from 19 May to 11 September.

Festival darling Camille O’Sullivan is set to play a six week season at the Apollo Theatre in the West End. The cabaret singer has made a number of appearances in London in recent times, performing at venues such as The Roundhouse, the Queen Elizabeth Hall and the Hippodrome. Her show, which sees her perform interpretations of songs by the likes of Nick Cave, Jacques Brel and Tom Waits, will run from 7 December until 16 January.
