Radiohead's Thom Yorke to write music for Broadway play.

Thom Yorke is going to Broadway, having written original music for the upcoming revival of the play Old Times by Harold Pinter.

Roundabout Theatre Company said that the Radiohead frontman and principal songwriter lent his talents to the play about love and memory starring Clive Owen, Eve Best and Kelly Reilly.

In Old Times, directed by Douglas Hodge, a married couple welcomes the wife’s old friend for a visit, which kicks up old memories, verbal games and classic Pinter amounts of menace.

“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,” the director said.

Previews begin on September 17 at the American Airlines Theatre.
