500

Actor Sacha Baron Cohen is set to star in "The Popinjay Cavalier," a new West End play written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Set in 1830s Europe, the rambunctious comedy of deception will premiere next March with tickets available from Monday. The production was announced earlier this year as inspired by grand swashbuckling epics. Baron Cohen expressed his delight at working with the Hollywood director, who is known for films like Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. Tarantino plans to retire after making 10 films but has already completed nine projects including Kill Bill Volumes One and Two. The play will be co-produced by Sony Pictures Entertainment and Sonia Friedman Productions. While Baron Cohen's full cast remains unannounced, the production celebrates his career featuring iconic characters like Ali G and Borat Sagdiyev.
