Jude's lure: Law to fall for call girl in return to theatre

ROBERT DEX

Jude Law is returning to the stage to play a sailor who falls in love with a prostitute.

The actor will appear in the Eugene O'Neill play Anna Christie at the Donmar Warehouse in London's West End, from August.

The play is part of a farewell season for the theatre's artistic director, Michael Grandage.

Law -- the star of Hollywood movies Sherlock Holmes and The Holiday -- received rave reviews when he played Hamlet at the Donmar in 2009.

The actor, who was recently named on GQ's best-dressed men list, last year rekindled his on/off relationship with Sienna Miller, above, and the pair were rumoured to have taken part in a marriage ceremony while on holidays in Asia.
