Keira Knightley wows audiences in new play

Keira Knightley has wowed audiences at early previews of her new play the Misanthrope.

Critics have yet to review the play, but audience reaction was overwhelmingly positive, with one theatergoer saying: 'People have obviously said before the performance that she would not do very well but clearly she can handle all that pressure and did a really good job on the night.'

Keira, meanwhile, has claimed that she only took the gig - her first on-stage role, because the script made her laugh. 'It made me giggle. That really was it. I've been sent things that were very serious, and I read this and thought, 'How lovely, that really might be fun,''

With Anna Friel's tenure at the West End drawing to a close, expect to now see millions of pictures of Keira leaving the theatre in a different posh frock every night...
