NEW YORK (AP) — Arthur Miller, Anton Chekhov and now Eugene Ionesco on Broadway this season.

Ionesco's classic absurdist comedy "Exit the King" opens March 26 with two Oscar winners — Geoffrey Rush and Susan Sarandon — in starring roles.

Rush plays a monarch who has brought his country to ruin and Sarandon is his conniving first wife.

Previews begin March 7 at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre. The adaptation is by Rush and Neil Armfield, who will also direct. The two worked on a critically praised production of the play in Australia in 2007.
