Katherine Kelly to star in West End show

When Coronation Street’s Katherine Kelly leaves the cobbles later this year as Becky McDonald, she'll star in a play at the National Theatre in London.

Katherine will join Oliver Goldsmith’s comedy She Stoops To Conquer at London’s National Theatre next year.  Acting onstage beside her will be Steve Pemberton, from The League of Gentlemen and Benidorm.

It's not the first time Katherine has appeared on stage. She's RADA trained and her previous stage credits include The Accrington Pals at Chichester Festival Theatre, Othello at the Manchester Royal Exchange and Tamar's Revenge, House of Desires, Pedro, The Great Pretender and The Dog in the Manger for the Royal Shakespeare Company.
