PJ Harvey is scoring a new stage adaption of the 1950 film All About Eve, she announced today (September 24) on her website. The play, directed by Ivo Van Hove, will star Gillian Anderson (as Margo Channing) and Lily James (as Eve Harrington). The play is set to premiere on February 2 at Noël Coward Theatre in London’s West End.
