Martin Freeman, James Norton and Jack Whitehall will be treading the boards to raise funds for refugees.
Directed by Jamie Lloyd, all profits from the one-night gala – in which stars will perform scenes from Shakespeare’s plays against a video backdrop of modern-day refugee stories – will go to UN refugee agency the UNHCR.
Stephen Fry, who participated in the inaugural event in Los Angeles, said: “Shakespeare has always been a friend to the marginalised. Who better to champion the needs of refugees worldwide?”
Whither Would You Go? takes place on October 22 at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London.
