Arthur Darvill, familiar to sci-fi fans as Doctor Who sidekick Rory Williams, is aiming the Tardis for Stratford-on-Avon this weekend.
The Birmingham-born actor is taking a break from helping Time Lord Matt Smith and fellow companion Amy Pond save the universe to join the cast of Softcops.
Carol Churchill's play about the criminal justice system is being performed at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre at 11.30am on Sunday, October 30.
Directed by Elizabeth Freestone, it's part of the Royal Shakespeare Company's 50th birthday celebrations.
Arthur is playing Pierre, with John Marquez (PC Penhale in ITV's comedy Doc Martin) joining him as Vidocq and Geoffrey Streatfeild in the role of Lacenaire and Conspirator. Streatfeild, who last performed for the RSC in Michael Boyd's award-winning Histories Season in which he played Henry V among other roles, was recently seen in the BBC's final series of Spooks as junior case officer Calum Reed.
