Actors Ethan Hawke and Paul Dano will work together once again, this time in a coming Broadway production of Sam Shepard's "True West".

The play will be directed by James Macdonald and it will open in January next year at the American Airlines Theatre, announced Roundabout Theatre Company.

Hawke and Dano will play battling brothers Lee and Austin, respectively.

"Opposites attack in Sam Shepard's Pulitzer Prize-nominated play about two brothers with more in common than they think. Holed up in their mother's California house, screenwriter Austin (Dano) and lowlife Lee (Hawke) wrestle with big issues - and each other.

"Order vs. chaos. Art vs. commerce. Typewriter vs. toaster...Shepard's rip-roaring classic returns to Broadway, gleefully detonating our misguided myths of family, identity and the American Dream," the company described the play on its official website.

Hawke and Dano had earlier worked with each other on two occasions. They acted together in the 2004 psychological thriller film "Taking Lives".

Later in 2007, Hawke directed Dano in an Off Broadway production of "Things We Want".
