Darke is an actress who has previously been seen in the HBO series "Girls" and the films "Still Alice" and "The Longest Week." In "The Spoils," which was written by Oscar nominee Jesse Eisenberg, Darke plays a character named Sarah.
Apart from writing the play, Eisenberg also co-stars with Darke, according to The New York Times
He plays the lead role in the off-Broadway show, which tells the story of an ostracized grad school dropout planning to sabotage his childhood crush's relationship with her fiancé. Darke plays Eisenberg's childhood crush, Sarah.
"The Spoils" also include Kunal Nayyar from "The Big Bang Theory," reported People.
The couple have been dating since 2012. Their first meeting was on the set of the film "Kill Your Darlings," a drama about the Beat poets Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsburg and William Burroughs, according to The Celebrity Café. Radcliffe played the writer poet Ginsburg in the film.
In an interview with People in August of last year, Radcliffe spoke about his and Darke's relationship. At the time, Radcliffe and Darke weren't an official couple yet, but the 25-year-old actor hinted at marriage already.
"I'm going out with my best friend at the moment. And that's, I think, the way it should be," Radcliffe told PEOPLE. "If you can get to a point where you're dating or married to somebody you consider your best friend, that's what will make it work."
Radcliffe confirmed his relationship with Darke in later part of 2014. On May 30, the two were seen together, with Radcliffe treating his new girlfriend to the movies. The British actor and Darke even went shopping before movie watching.
Radcliffe currently has an upcoming film called "Game Crasher," but filming was reportedly stopped following a lawsuit that Rockstar Games, which also owns "Grand Theft Auto," made against BBC. The network is, according to Just Jared, the company behind the TV movie.
"Take-Two Interactive (Rockstar's parent company) has filed [a] suit against the BBC for trademark infringement based on their movie currently titled Game Changer as it relates to Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto video game series," Rockstar said via a statement. "While holders of the trademarks referenced in the film title and its promotion, Rockstar Games has had no involvement with this project."
Rockstar added that their goal was only to ensure that BBC does not misuse the Rockstar trademarks as BBC pursues unofficial presentation of "purported events related to Rockstar Games."
