The British model has been in LA taking acting classes, but is set to return to the UK in spring to star in the as yet untitled play by Matt Greenhalgh, writer of Nowhere Boy and Control, according to reports.
A source told UK newspaper, the Sunday Mirror: 'Agyness is thrilled things have been going so well. She desperately wants to be taken seriously as an actress.
'Everyone that she's been reading for is saying she's truly talented. She's bagged the part in Matt's new play and she couldn't be happier about it. She wants to start on the stage, not just trade on her model credentials.'
