Quentin Tarantino Is Bringing a Play to West End

Quentin Tarantino is headed to the West End for his stage debut as a writer and director. His new play, The Popinjay Cavalier, is described as a comedy about deception and disguise, with inspiration from swashbuckling stories on stage and screen.

Sacha Baron Cohen will star in the production. Previews are set to begin Feb. 23, and the official opening is scheduled for March 18.

Tarantino said he is excited to bring the show to London. Baron Cohen also said yes quickly when Tarantino called. Sony Pictures Entertainment and Sonia Friedman are producing the play.

Tarantino has done stage work before as an actor, but this is a different step for him. He has also been working on other film projects, including writing The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth and planning what he has said will be his final movie.
