Olivier winner and two-time Tony nominee Eve Best and Kelly Reilly will star opposite the previously announced Clive Owen in Harold Pinter’s Old Times. Directed by Douglas Hodge, the Broadway revival will play a limited engagement, beginning previews on September 17. Opening night is set for October 6 at the American Airlines Theatre.
Best returns to Broadway following her Tony nominated turns in The Homecoming and Moon for the Misbegotten. She won the Olivier for her performance in Hedda Gabler. Screen credits include The King’s Speech and Nurse Jackie. Reilly received Olivier nominations for After Miss Julie and Othello. She is currently filming True Detective for HBO.
Old Times is the unsettling drama of desire and blurred realities. Deeley (Owen) is a man quite looking forward to meeting Anna (Best), his wife Kate’s (Reilly) friend from long ago. But as the night goes on, Anna’s visit quickly shifts from an ordinary sharing of memories to a quiet battle for power.
The production will kick off Roundabout's 50th anniversary season.
