The Pelicot Trial will be staged by the Young Vic theatre at London's County Hall on 30 November, and will also be streamed online.
The Young Vic said the performance is a "profoundly affecting piece of documentary theatre, comprised of testimonies and written accounts from the trial, (which) pays tribute to the ordinary woman who opened the way to change".
Gisele Pelicot, 73, waived her right to anonymity as a survivor of sexual abuse, and said shame should fall on her abusers, not her.
The Pelicot Trial received its world premiere in Vienna last year and has since toured to cities including Avignon, New York, Lisbon, Milan and Bergen.
Tickets for the London performance will go on general sale on Wednesday.
