Four star guests have been confirmed for the London premiere of the American Death Row drama The Exonerated.

Kristin Davis ("Sex and the City"), Danny Glover ("Lethal Weapon"), Aidan Quinn ("Legends of the Fall," "Michael Collins") and Kate Mulgrew ("Star Trek Voyager") are confirmed to take part in the 16-week run starting at the Riverside Studios Feb. 21. The official opening night has yet to be confirmed but the show’s spokeswoman gave Feb. 24 as the most likely date.

Written by Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen, the verbatim piece is based on the authors' 40 interviews with American prisoners who, after being condemned to Death Row for execution were subsequently released when later found innocent.

The play was first performed in spring 2002 at Hollywood actor/director Tim Robbins' Actors' Gang Theatre in Los Angeles. Under Bob Balaban's direction the show has built a starry list of cast members during the play's 608 Off-Broadway performances.

The 90-minute drama won a Fringe First at last year's Edinburgh Festival, where it received its U.K. premiere.

The show is booking until June 11, 2006.
