RADCLIFFE film director Danny Boyle has gathered together a host of film and television stars to take part in a one-off theatre performance.

Game Of Thrones star Kit Harington, aged 28, who plays Jon Snow in the fantasy drama, will join James McAvoy, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Christopher Eccleston in a charity theatre production of The Children's Monologues.

The Slumdog Millionaire filmmaker will direct the show, comprising a sequence of monologues adapted by writers such as Sir David Hare, Neil LaBute and James Graham, retelling the first-hand accounts of 15 young children growing up in the rural township of Rammulotsi, South Africa.

The performance will take place at the Royal Court Theatre in London on Sunday October 25, with proceeds going to Danny's creative arts charity Dramatic Need.

Kit, aged 28, said: "To get to work with some of the country's most exciting writers and actors, whose work I have long admired, and with the brilliant Danny Boyle, is an amazing opportunity."
