Tom Hanks is to star in an off-Broadway play he has co-written.
The Oscar-winning star will be making a return to the stage for the first time since his 2013 Broadway debut in ‘Lucky Guy’ - for which he was nominated for a Tony Award - when he appears in ‘This World of Tomorrow’ at the 550-seat theatre The Shed in New York City.
The production will premiere on 30 October and run for eight weeks until 21 December, and is described as a blend of romance and history with a dash of science fiction.
The story follows a lonely scientist from the future who travels back in time to find love at the 1939 World’s Fair in Queens and will feature a cast of 10 to 12 actors, with some taking on multiple roles.
The ‘Forrest Gump’ actor said in a statement: “To explore the themes of love and yearning, and the struggles of Today as we carry with us the eternal memories of the Past, in such a place as The Shed, strikes me as a one-of-a-kind experience not unlike the World’s Fair of 1939.”
