Thom Yorke to create original music for Broadway!

We are thrilled to announce that Thom Yorke, singer and principal songwriter for the three?time Grammy Award?winning alternative rock band, Radiohead, will compose original music for Harold Pinter's Old Times, directed by Douglas Hodge, and starring Clive Owen, Eve Best and Kelly Reilly as part of our 50th anniversary season.

Old Times director Douglas Hodge notes: "The music Thom has written for Old Times gives an immediacy and a 'now?ness' to the show. The play itself is about memory and love-Thom's music works backwards and forwards and plays with time and repetition in the same way Pinter does. 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."

"It's been pleasure working with Doug on my first stage production," adds Thom Yorke. "I've enjoyed exploring through music the script's themes of love and memory as well as Pinter's rhythms, twists and turns."

Old Times will begin preview performances on Thursday, September 17, 2015 on Broadway at the
American Airlines Theatre. For more information and tickets, please visit our website.
