Tony Award nominee Eve Best and Olivier Award nominee Kelly Reilly will join the previously announced Clive Owen in Roundabout Theatre Company's fall 2015 revival of Harold Pinter's Old Times, to be directed by Tony winner Douglas Hodge. Previews will begin September 17 at the American Airlines Theatre, with opening night set for October 15.

Old Times is described as a "drama of desire and blurred realities," which follows Deeley (Owen), a man looking forward to meeting Anna (Best), his wife Kate’s (Reilly) friend from long ago.

Owen is an Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe winner for his role as Larry in Patrick Marber’s Closer, directed by Mike Nichols. Onstage, he has appeared in Romeo and Juliet at the Young Vic, Noël Coward’s Design for Living at the Donmar Warehouse, and more. Best received Tony nominations for her performances in A Moon for the Misbegotten and The Homecoming. Reilly is an Olivier nominee for her work in After Miss Julie and Othello.

The creative team will be announced at a later date.
