Washington, Jan 8 : After playing superspy James Bond, actor Daniel Craig has now set his eyes on theatre.

The 40-year-old actor is eager to star on the London stage, but hopes to avoid classics, which are too "complicated" or have "too many lines."

"If a play came along right now, I would jump at it. I''m very keen on doing new writing with plays - that''s where my heart is," Contactmusic quoted Craig as saying.

He insists that he doesn''t want to take on the challenge of Shakespeare or other legendary playwrights.

"Not that I don''t think that doing the classics is a wonderful idea, but Shakespeare''s got too many lines and the other stuff is really complicated," he added. (ANI)
