Denzel Washington is coming back to Broadway.

For a limited-time, 14-week engagement, Washington will be starring in Broadway’s “The Iceman Cometh.” He will be playing the part of Hickey, a salesman who suddenly sees life differently after going sober from a lifetime of heavy drinking.

The play was first published in 1946 and was written by playwright Eugene O’Neill.

Washington has an excellent Broadway record, most recently starring in “A Raisin in the Sun” in 2014, as well as “Checkmates” in 1988, “Julius Caesar” in 2005 and “Fences” in 2010. He won a Tony Award for best actor in 2010, alongside co-star Viola Davis.
