Former National Theatre artistic directors Peter Hall and Richard Eyre have signed to produce the Slumdog Millionaire helmer's play, says Variety. Nick Dear has penned the adaptation.
"Danny first talked about this eight years ago, and it has taken him eight years. He said he was coming back to the theatre after being 'distracted' by 15 years of filmmaking," said Sir Nicholas Hytner, director of the National Theatre.
Boyle's production will coincide with the new season of 'NT Live', which will be shown in cinemas throughout the UK and US.
Boyle worked in theatre before landing on the independent film scene with Shallow Grave in 1994.
