London: "James Bond" star Daniel Craig wants to return to his theatrical roots.

Craig, who studied at London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama along with Ewan McGregor, made his acting debut at the age of 16 in the Shakespearean play "Troilus and Cressida".

Contactmusic.com quoted him as saying, "My ideal would be to choose some new writing. I have nothing against the classics, but new writing to me seems like it gives you a chance to try new stuff out, stuff no one's ever seen before. I think that makes for a much more exciting theatre experience."
