Cohen, known for his comedic characters, shared his excitement about working with Tarantino. The production is a joint effort by Sony Pictures Entertainment and Sonia Friedman Productions. Full casting details for 'The Popinjay Cavalier' are expected to be announced later.
Tickets for the play, which range from £25 upwards, will be available for priority access sign-ups on Monday, followed by a public sale. Tarantino, a two-time Academy Award winner, has previously directed films such as 'Pulp Fiction' and 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.'
