Ananova:

Julia Roberts will make her Broadway debut in a revival of the drama Three Days of Rain.

The 37-year-old Oscar winning actress will star in the three person play for 12 weeks beginning in March.

She said she was fulfilling a dream by appearing on Broadway and her nerves were already tight.

"By the time I get there, I'll be entirely apoplectic. But the terror is part of the excitement," Roberts told the New York Times.

Joe Mantello, who recently directed Glengarry Glen Ross on the Great White Way, will direct.

The play's other two actors, both men, have yet to be confirmed as has the theatre where the play will be staged.

Played in two acts set 35 years apart, Three Days of Rain tells the story of a brother, a sister and a family friend discussing a secret at the heart of their parents' relationship.

The actors play the children in the first act and the parents in the second.

Roberts, who last year became a new mother when she gave birth to twins, added, "I love its complications. I love the opportunity to get to play someone in contemporary times and then play the mother 30 years earlier."
