Daniel Craig keen for stage role

Thursday, January 8 2009, 00:38 GMT

Daniel Craig has admitted that he would jump at the chance to appear in a play.

The 007 star, whose new film Defiance opens on Friday, is eager to make a return to the stage but not if the play is too complex.

The Sun quotes him as saying: "If a play came along right now, I would jump at it. I'm very keen on doing new writing with plays - that's where my heart is."

The 40-year-old confessed that he would prefer to stay away from appearing in a Shakespeare production, saying: "Not that I don't think that doing the classics is a wonderful idea, but Shakespeare's got too many lines and the other stuff is really complicated."
