Broadway's favorite sirs Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart will reunite in Harold Pinter's No Man's Land for a run across the pond. The play opens at the Sheffield Lyceum on August 3, followed by a U.K. tour. The production will then land in the West End at Wyndham's Theatre for a 14-week run, beginning September 8.

McKellen and Stewart costarred in No Man's Land at Broadway's Cort Theatre in 2013-14, performing the play in repertory with Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. Billy Crudup and Shuler Hensley joined them to perform both plays.

In No Man's Land Pinter introduces two writers, Hirst and Spooner, and invites the audience to consider whether they really know each other or they are performing an elaborate charade.
