Two stars of the screen, Keri Russell and Adam Driver, are heading to Broadway. The pair has been cast in a revival of Lanford Wilson’s “Burn This,” which will open in March.

Both actors are primarily known for their work in television and movies. Ms. Russell has been nominated for three Emmys for her work on “The Americans,” while Mr. Driver is celebrated for “Girls” and the current “Star Wars” trilogy. (And both of them are set to appear in the upcoming “Star Wars: Episode IX.”) But they have experience on the stage as well: Mr. Driver appeared on Broadway in “Mrs. Warren’s Profession” and “Man and Boy,” while Ms. Russell acted in Neil LaBute’s “Fat Pig” in 2004.

They will star as Anna and Pale in Mr. Wilson’s play, which opened on Broadway in 1987 with Joan Allen and John Malkovich in the roles. The work explores the aftermath of the death of a young gay dancer, as his roommates reassess their lives and Anna and Pale hurtle into a stormy relationship. In a 2002 revival, the roles of Anna and Pale were taken on by Catherine Keener and Edward Norton.

Michael Mayer (“Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” “Spring Awakening”) will direct the revival. The production was slated to arrive on Broadway in 2017 with Jake Gyllenhaal in the role of Pale, but was postponed because of scheduling conflicts.
