Rupert Grint confirmed for West End London debut in "Mojo" October 26
 
Confirming rumours, Rupert Grint will indeed make his West End London debut this fall in the production of crime drama, Mojo, based on real-life events. Rupert took part in a rehearsal reading earlier this summer, and now it is being said that the play will start on October 26 at the Harold Pinter Theatre, confirmed the play's producer Sonia Friedman. Ian Rickson will direct, and it is said he spoke to Harry Potter director David Yates, who said Rupert had ‘hidden depths’ as a thespian.

Quote:

Grint will make his stage debut as a pill-popping petty crook alongside Brendan Coyle (Downton Abbey’s Mr Bates) and Ben Whishaw, Bond’s latest gadget wizard Q.

Daniel Mays, who won acclaim for his portrayal of Ronnie Biggs in ITV’s drama Mrs Biggs, and in movies such as Made In Dagenham, completes the high-octane quartet who’ll lead a revival of Jez Butterworth’s scorching debut play Mojo, set in the Soho underworld of 1958.

Grint will play a minor hood called Sweets who pops amphetamines like Smarties and does a sort of double act, full of comic menace, with Mays, as a character called Potts.
UPDATE: Rupert's reps have confirmed this is true, and will be sending something extra over tomorrow morning for fans. Stay tuned. Rehearsals will begin in mid-September.

Awesome, hope it's true. Will do him some good on the stage. Too bad I won't be able to see it myself being in the US. :(
