The three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning American playwright passed away last week after a brief illness, sparking an outpouring of tributes from stars on social media.
The play, about a self-destructing marriage, is widely considered to be his finest work and it won five Tony Awards following its 1962 Broadway debut.
It has been frequently revived for the stage and was adapted for the screen in 1966 and starred Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
It has now been announced it will be revived again for London's West End with Staunton in Taylor's role, playing opposite award-winning theatre actor Conleth Hill, who plays eunuch Varys in TV show "Game of Thrones", reported Contactmusic.
The production is set to run from February 22 to May 27 next year at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London.
