NEW YORK — England's Queen Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots, will square off on Broadway next spring in the critically acclaimed London production of "Mary Stuart," starring Janet McTeer and Harriet Walter.

McTeer will portray Mary, Queen of Scots, and Walter will be Elizabeth in the Donmar Warehouse production, which later moved to London's West End. The New York opening date, other casting and theater will be announced.

The adaptation of Friedrich Schiller's classic play by Peter Oswald, will be directed by Phyllida Lloyd.

McTeer was last seen on Broadway in "A Doll's House," for which she won a best-actress Tony Award in 1997. Walter has appeared extensively in England with both the National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company.
