Kylie Minogue is not quitting music and is definitely not wasting any time giving her acting career a new life, appearing in her first project for Sky with Playhouse Presents… Hey Diddly Dee which has been written and directed by Marc Warren.

An all-star line-up is set to appear in the new series of Sky Arts' exclusive comedy and drama strand, Playhouse Presents… beginning April 18th, 2013 on Sky Arts 1 HD.

The new season will feature: Kathy Burke, Frances Barber, Julia Davis, Idris Elba, Anna Friel, Rebecca Front, Stephen Graham, David Harewood, Ian Hart, Sharon Horgan, Mathew Horne, Suranne Jones, Kylie Minogue, Vanessa Redgrave, Peter Serafinowicz, Matt Smith, Johnny Vegas, Marc Warren, Jack Whitehall and Reggie Yates.

"When the script was sent to me, I read it and knew instinctively I wanted to be part of this project," said Kylie. "In Hey Diddly Dee, Marc has created a beautiful and quirky story. I have also enjoyed many of the Playhouse Presents… series and love that they have created a platform for this type of work."

Kylie is playing a character, called Bibbi,  based on Andy Warhol's muse Edie Sedgwick.
Comic Peter Serafinowicz will play artist Warhol.

Hustle actor, Marc Warren (and the director of the 1st episode, starring Kylie) commented: "Writing and directing for Playhouse Presents… has been one of the most magical experiences of my career. To give myself the best chance I called in every favour to surround myself with a dream cast and an incredible crew. And then by some miracle, Kylie appeared, and the fate of our film was sealed."

Written and directed by Marc Warren
For every star that is born...one has to die. When the star of the show suffers a tragic accident who is to blame? The understudy? A faulty trap door? Or the theatre's lucky cat? A dark comedy-drama about drama starring Kylie Minogue, Mathew Horne, Peter Serafinowicz, David Harewood, Paul Kaye and Lee Boardman.
