Tracey Ullman to Return to the Stage in Poliakoff's MY CITY

Tracey Ullman will make her return to the London stage in a production of Stephen Poliakoff's MY CITY at Almida Theatre, according to report by Baz Bamigboye for Daily Mail. The show will begin rehearsals in August, and performances begin September 8.

Poliakoff commented: "It's not the Tracey Ullman Show. It'll surprise people. Everyone's on stage for most of the time." On her character, he added, "The character is a very proficient story teller and that plays very strongly to Tracey's talent for buttonholing us."
