NEW YORK (AP) – Radiohead’s Thom Yorke is going Broadway – he’s written original music for the upcoming revival of the play “Old Times” by Harold Pinter.
Roundabout Theatre Company said Wednesday that Radiohead’s frontman and principal songwriter lent his talents to the play about love and memory starring Clive Owen, Eve Best and Kelly Reilly.
Previews begin Sept. 17 at the American Airlines Theatre.
In “Old Times,” a married couple welcomes the wife’s old friend for a visit, which kicks up old memories, verbal games and classic Pinter amounts of menace. Douglas Hodge is directing.
“In true Thom Yorke-style, the music is epic, heartbreaking, irresistible and complex. I’m hopeful this collaboration will result in a new kind of theatergoer coming to our show,” Hodge said in a statement.
