Quentin Tarantino's West End Play Revealed as Classic British Farce

Quentin Tarantino is trading Hollywood for the West End. The filmmaker revealed the project after stepping away from The Movie Critic, which had been set as his final feature under his self-imposed 10-film rule. He says the play is all written and is "absolutely the next thing I'm going to do," though he stopped short of revealing further details.

"We'll start the ball rolling on it in January... It's probably going to take up a year and a half to two years of my life," he added. The piece is described as an original, old-fashioned British farce in the door-slamming, trouser-dropping, mistaken-identity vein of Brian Rix and Ray Cooney.

The production is said to be technically ambitious, with rumours of a scene that might feature an actor on a wire. Casting remains unclear, with talks said to be underway with several A-listers while other names with theatrical experience have also been mentioned.
