The Guardian has the best announcement so far:
"Two of Britain's greatest living stage actors, Michael Gambon and Alex Jennings, will take the lead roles this autumn in Alan Bennett's new play The Habit of Art, the National Theatre announced today.
Gambon returns to the National for the first time in four years and will play the poet WH Auden in an imagined meeting with his former artistic collaborator Benjamin Britten, to be played by Jennings.
The words "much-anticipated" are artistic cliches, but in Bennett's case they ring true. There is genuine excitement about his new play – his first since The History Boys became such a global success, on stage and screen, in 2004.
The National today said The Habit of Art would be "as much about the theatre as it is about poetry or music", and that it will look at "the unsettling desires of two difficult men, and at the ethics of biography". Directed by Nicholas Hytner will be a cast including Frances de la Tour, Adrian Scarborough, John Heffernan, Stephen Wight and Elliot Levey."

Public booking doesn't open until 2 September, ARGH.
(I'll only be in London for the 9 and 10 December dates, and I'm a little stressed out. ;-))
Thank you for the info, Jolande!

It might be useful to note that tickets are going fast -- after only one day of public booking, several performances are already sold out.
(but I got a ticket to the 10 December show!)
