Former Grey's Anatomy star Sandra Oh has lined up an exciting new theatre role.

The actor will join Peter Dinklage, Lupita Nyong'o and Jesse Tyler Ferguson to perform in Twelfth Night at the Delacorte Theatre in Central Park.

The outdoor theatre is run by The Public Theatre and offers free tickets to its Shakespeare in the Park. However, it has been closed due to renovations since last autumn. It will reopen in August 2025 with the production of Twelfth Night.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Oh will play the role of Olivia, alongside Dinklage's Malvolio, Nyong'o's Viola and Ferguson's Andrew Aguecheek.

"Twelfth Night is the epitome of joy," said The Public Theater's resident director Saheem Ali. "It also happens to be the first production I ever saw at The Delacorte, as a college student taking the Chinatown bus from Boston.

"I'm delighted to be reuniting with my dear friend Lupita Nyong'o, joined by fellow Public Theater alums Peter Dinklage, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Sandra Oh.

"Free Shakespeare in the Park is a gift to our city. I'm honored to be helming this production as we reopen The Delacorte after an extensive and essential revitalization."

The Delacorte has been home to Twelfth Night since 1969, showcasing six prior productions of the play.

The shows have previously featured impressive casts, including Jeff Goldblum, Anne Hathaway, Audra McDonald, Michelle Pfeiffer, Julia Stiles and Michael Stuhlbarg.

Grey's Anatomy season 21 will air premiere on Thursday, September 26, at 10pm ET on ABC in the US. Previous seasons are streaming on Disney+ in the UK.
