On last night's LATE SHOW, Daniel Radcliffe stopped by to talk about his new play PRIVACY at New York's Public Theater. Asked if he'd be taking off his clothes for the new project, the actor shared, "Let's just say it's possible".

Later, Radcliffe discusses his new film SWISS ARMY MAN and explains why he doesn't plan on attending the new two-part HARRY POTTER stage show in London anytime soon. "I want to see the show - I genuinely am intrigued and I've heard it's fantastic - but I just feel sitting in an audience of what will for the most of the near future be very enthusiastic Harry Potter fans might be like not a relaxing way to see a show. So, not for the time being."

He adds of the show's stars: "Jamie Parker is a wonderful actor and I'm very happy to see him play me. All of the questions can shift to him now. He can do all the Harry questions now."

Radcliffe will star in PRIVACY, a new play co-created and written by Olivier nominated playwright James Graham, and co-created and directed by Olivier Award winner Josie Rourke, this summer.

PRIVACY is a timely exploration of the digital age that will feature a cast of seven, including Radcliffeas "The Writer." PRIVACY will begin previews for a limited engagement on Tuesday, July 5 and run through Sunday, August 7 in the Newman Theater, with an official press opening on Monday, July 18.

In addition to Daniel Radcliffe as "The Writer," the cast will include De'Adre Aziza, Raffi Barsoumian, Michael Countryman, Rachel Dratch, and Reg Rogers, playing an ensemble of real-life high profile politicians, journalists and technologists who have all contributed exclusively to the show.

Daniel Radcliffe is appearing with the permission of Actors' Equity Association. The Producers gratefully acknowledge Actors' Equity Association for its assistance of this production.

Inspired by the revelations of Edward Snowden, PRIVACY explores our complicated relationship with technology and data through the funny and heart-breaking travails of a lonely guy (Daniel Radcliffe), who arrives in the city to figure out how to like, tag, and share his life without giving it all away. The play uncovers what our technological choices reveal about who we are, what we want and who's keeping track of it all. This provocative theatrical event will ask audiences to charge their phones, leave them ON during the performance and to embark on a fascinating dive online and into a new reality where we're all connected...for better or worse.
