The London Derry Senitel says the one-man play is about The Seige Of Derry.
David Tennant is set to appear in a new one-man play in Derry next year a part of the city's 2013 City Of Culture celebrations.
The play is written by local writer and director Andy Hinds and explores David's ancestral roots in the city.

Other members of his family were involved in the local politics of the 20th Century. David explored his family heritage during an episode of the BBC's Who Do You Think You Are.
