Carey Mulligan will be taking up residence in New York this spring. The "Inside Llewyn Davis" actress will be reprising her role in David Hare's play "Skylight" when it moves to Broadway in March.

The play will run at Golden Theatre in New York City for a 13-week limited engagement. Previews are set to begin on March 16, 2015 and opening night is scheduled for April 2.

Mulligan, who earned an Oscar nomination for her role in "An Education," will perform opposite Bill Nighy, who has appeared in several of Hare's plays and is also known for roles in films like "Love Actually," "About Tim," "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."  

Mulligan and Nighy starred together in the West End revival of "Skylight," which closed in London on August 23. 

The West End production's director, Stephen Daldry, will also take on the Broadway production. Daldry won a Tony award for helming "An Inspector Calls" in 1992 and garnered three Academy Award nominations for his films "Billy Elliot," "The Hours," and "The Reader."

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the play is centered on high school teacher Kyra Hollis (Mulligan) who is surprised with a visit from her former lover Tom Sergeant (Nighy), a "successful restaurateur and recent widower." When Tom arrives at Kyra's dingy apartment, we learn that the young teacher used to be a vital member of Tom's upper crust catering business. However, a mysterious event led her to leave. Through the course of the night, however, "all is revealed."  

Mulligan has an impressive background in the theatre. She made her Broadway debut in 2007, starring as Nina in Chekov's "The Seagull." The actress last appeared on the New York theatre scene in "Through a Glass Darkly," at the New York Theatre Workshop. Mulligan won a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actress in a Play for that role. 

Although Mulligan has dedicated herself to the theatre for a stretch of 2015, she also has roles in several films in various stages of production.

She will play Bathsheba Everdene in "Far from the Madding Crowd," a drama about a woman who maintains relationships with three different men, which is set to be released in May 2015.
