Star Trek legend William Shatner is set to join renowned thespian Kenneth Branagh and country singer Faith Hill in a one-off production of a Shakespeare play in Los Angeles.
The stars are part of a cast of famous faces set to appear in a reading of The Merry Wives of Windsor next month.
The cast of the comedy also includes Tom Hanks, Christina Applegate, Eric Idle, and Hill's husband Tim McGraw.
The show will take place on 9 May at UCLA's Royce Hall, and fans can bid on the chance to take part as organisers are auctioning off a small role in the play for charity. The lucky bidder will have a line of dialogue, billing in the program and the chance to take part in rehearsals. The eBay auction concludes on 1 May.
