London
(ANI):
American
actor
Denzel
Washington
has
revealed
that
he
wants
to
return
to
theatre
work
and
leave
his
Hollywood
career
behind.
Washington,
55,
who
is
set
to
appear
on
Broadway
in
April,
made
a
list
of
what
he
wants
to
do
career
wise,
and
he
has
listed
performing
on
stage
at
the
top.
“My
priorities
have
changed.
The
first
thing
I
wanna
do
is
theatre.
The
second
is
direct
movies.
Acting
in
movies
is
now
number
three
on
the
list," the
Daily
Star
quoted
him
as
telling
the
New
York
Post.
The
actor
had
started
his
acting
career
in
a
1970s
college
production
of
Shakespeare"s
Othello,
before
winning
critical
acclaim
for
his
role
in
A
Soldier"s
Play
and
Broadway"s
Julius
Caesar
in
2005.
He
is
now
set
to
relocate
to
New
York
ahead
of
his
upcoming
stint
in
a
revival
of
August
Wilson"s
Fences,
and
he
is
excited
at
the
prospect
of
performing
in
front
of
a
live
audience
again
after
years
spent
sacrificing
his
first
love
for
the
sake
of
his
family.
“I
always
felt
bad
with
eight
shows
a
week
-
you
can"t
get
home.
I
always
felt
bad
doing
it
(a
Broadway
run)," he
said.
“Julius
Caesar
was
the
first
time
in
a
long
time
I
came
back
to
New
York,
because
of
the
children,"
he
added.
