Ben Miles and Amanda Root will join the already announced Amelia Bullmore, Jessica Hynes (nee Stevenson), Stephen Mangan and Paul Ritter.
The Old Vic will transform into a theatre in the round for the production, which will be directed by Matthew Warchus. He said: “I have always been excited by the magical effect that ‘in the round’ has on audiences, performers and design. Seeing Ayckbourn performed in this setting, compared to a conventional proscenium arch, can, I think, be revelatory.”
The three plays - Table Manners, Living Together and Round and Round the Garden - will run from September 11 to December 20.
