Star of the latest Bond movie SPECTRE, Andrew Scott is headed to the UK premiere of Richard Greenberg's THE DAZZLE, the first production for Found III, performing at the Central Saint Martins School of Art. Simon Evans will direct the play, which begins December 10, 2015.

According to the Daily Mail, Scott will play 'Langley', who he describes as "an extraordinary piano player" though the actor will be "pretending." Starring opposite Scott will be David Dawson as 'Homer'.

THE DAZZLE centers on Homer and Langley Collyer, described as "brothers who lived in a mansion in Harlem stuffed with 14 baby grand pianos" and whose bodies were eventually "discovered under tons of rubbish."

The play premiered off-Broadway more than a decade ago and comes to London this winter courtesy the Michael Grandage Company and producer Emily Dobbs.

Scott won an Olivier Award in 2005 for the Jerwood Theatre Upstairs production of A GIRL IN A CAR WITH A MAN. He is also well known for his role as 'Jim Moriarty' in SHERLOCK, which earned him a 2012 British Academy Television Award. The actor also appeared on Broadway in 2006's THE VERTICAL HOUR.

Among his other UK theatre credits are BIRDLAND, COCK, DYING CITY, and DUBLIN CAROL at the Royal Court, the National Theatre's 50 YEARS ON STAGE, as well as EMPEROR AND GALILEAN and ARISTOCRATS at the National, DESIGN FOR LIVING at The Old Vic, Simon Stephens' one-man show SEA WALL, and LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT at the Gate Theatre in Dublin.
