Danny DeVito to make West End debut in 'The Sunshine Boys'

London, Jan 31 (ANI): Danny DeVito is set to make his West End debut in a play about a pair of veteran comedians who reunite for one last performance.

The 67-year-old actor will star alongside Richard Griffiths in Neil Simon's play 'The Sunshine Boys', which was first staged on Broadway in 1972.

It was made into a film starring Walter Matthau and George Burns three years later, earning an Oscar for Burns.

The play, directed by Thea Sharrock, will run at the Savoy Theatre in London from 27 April to 28 July, the BBC reported.

DeVito emerged in the 1971 off Broadway stage version of 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' before appearing in the film of the same name in 1975.

He went on to star in TV sitcom 'Taxi' and on the big screen in such films as 'Ruthless People', 'Batman Returns', 'Get Shorty' and 'Twins'. (ANI)
