John Goodman released a statement, saying:

Synopsis: "As three small-time crooks, Donny Dubrow, Walter 'Teach' Cole and Bobby plan one big-time heist, a tragedy of errors spins this razor-sharp and darkly funny play into a blistering account of divided loyalties, insatiable greed... and a coveted Buffalo nickel."

American Buffalo also features scenic and costume design by Paul Wills and lighting design by Mark Henderson.

Mr Lewis is best known for his role as Sergeant Nicholas Brody in the US drama 'Homeland', for which he was awarded the 2013 Golden Globe for 'Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series' and a 2012 Primetime Emmy Award for 'Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series'.

American Buffalo marks Lewis's first West End stage appearance since 'The Misanthrope', in which he starred with Keira Knightley, at the Comedy Theatre (now the Harold Pinter Theatre) from December 2009 to March 2010.

John Goodman's recent stage credits include 'Waiting for Godot' at New York's Studio 54 and 'The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui' at New York's Public Theater. He is best known for his many screen credits, which include 'Rosanne,' 'Barton Fink,' 'The Big Lebowski,' 'O Brother Where Art Thou?' 'Argo,' 'The Artist,' 'Inside Llewyn Davis,' 'Monuments Men,' and 'Monsters Inc.'

Tom Sturridge was nominated for a Tony Award in 2013 for 'Orphans' on Broadway. Other notable theatre credits include 'Punk Rock' (Lyric Hammersmith & Manchester Royal Exchange), 'Wastwater' and 'No Quarter' (both at the Royal Court Theatre).
