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."

Ullman's early appearances were on British TV sketch comedy shows A Kick Up the Eighties (with Rik Mayall and Miriam Margolyes) and Three of a Kind (with Lenny Henry and David Copperfield). She also appeared as Candice Valentine in Girls On Top with Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders.

Along with her television work, Ullman has featured in many films throughout her career. After the cancellation of The Tracey Ullman Show in 1990, she made her starring debut alongside Kevin Kline, River Phoenix and Joan Plowright in I Love You To Death. Ullman has also appeared in Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Nancy Savoca's Household Saints, 'Bullets Over Broadway', Small Time Crooks, A Dirty Shame, and Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. She had a small role in Paul McCartney's film Give My Regards to Broad Street.
