Will Al Pacino and David Mamet Team Up for Another Broadway Project?

According to a report by The Daily Mail, Oscar winner and two-time Tony winner Al Pacino will be returning to the London stage for the first time in 30 years to lead a production of Oscar Wilde's Salomé in spring 2016.

Pacino has already performed the play in New York and Los Angeles, and in 2011, released the documentary-drama film Wilde Salomé, featuring Jessica Chastain. A new version of the film without the documentary elements titled Salomé is scheduled to be released in 2014.

During a discussion about the impending London production, the film and stage star also revealed tentative plans to participate in a new David Mamet play in New York before heading across the pond in 2016. "Otherwise, I’d be here sooner," he told The Daily Mail. Pacino last appeared on Broadway in 2012 in a revival production of David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross.

Pacino claims to have been "addicted" to Salomé since seeing Steven Berkoff perform it in London in 1989. Written by Oscar Wilde in 1891, the play tells the biblical story of Salomé, who requests the head of Jokanaan (John the Baptist) on a silver platter as a reward for dancing the dance of the seven veils.
