Ferris Bueller is coming to London. Sort of.

Matthew Broderick will make his West End debut in a new production of Kenneth Lonergan’s The Starry Messenger.

He will star alongside Downton Abbey’s Elizabeth McGovern in the play, which opens at the Wyndham’s Theatre on 16th May.

In The Starry Messenger, facing a stagnant marriage and a drowning career, Mark Williams is stuck teaching astronomy in the basement of the Hayden Planetarium.

When a chance meeting with a young mother knocks them both out of orbit, their lives begin to realign in ways they never could have predicted.
