Keira Knightley is keen to return to the theatre.

The actress made her West End debut earlier this year in The Misanthrope and despite some criticism from her performance she is keen to take on more roles.

Speaking to Contactmusic the actress said: "I really enjoy doing stage stuff and would definitely do more theatre. It's so different to films as you really get into the character.

"In films, once you have finished shooting a scene it's done but with the theatre you're always continuing. You get to know the characters in a way that you don't as much in films.

"The audience's mood is different every night and that is fascinating as, along with my mood, it gives the whole performance a different feeling each night. There haven't been any negative reactions from the audience though."

But the actress is returning to the big screen with a string of projects in the pipeline in 2010.

She is teaming up with Colin Farrell, Ray Winstone and Anna Friel for London Boulevard. She then moves onto sci-fi thriller Never Let Me Go with Carey Mulligan while Last Night sees her star alongside Sam Worthington and Eva Mendes.
