Susan Sarandon : Geoffrey Rush to make Broadway debut with Susan Sarandon

Aussie actor Geoffrey Rush is all set to make his Broadway debut opposite fellow Oscar winner Susan Sarandon in Eugene Ionesco’s ‘Exit The King’.

While the 57-year-old actor will reprise his role as the king in the play, Sarandon will play one of his wives.

It will be Sarandon’s first trip to Broadway since she appeared in Gore Vidal’s ‘An Evening With Richard Nixon’ and in ‘1972′.

Rush translated the play along with director Neil Armfield, reports Contactmusic.

The play, which was originally produced by the Company B and Malthouse Theater in Australia will open at Broadway in the spring (09).

However, the dates for the new play have not been finalised as yet. (ANI)
