BAM says:

Part of the 2010 Spring Season and The Bridge Project

Produced by BAM, The Old Vic & Neal Street

Last spring, The Bridge Project launched its inaugural season at BAM with an outstanding ensemble of American and British actors in Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale and Tom Stoppard’s adaptation of The Cherry Orchard. Following its successful debut in New York, the critically-acclaimed company, led by Tony and Academy Award-winning director Sam Mendes (Broadways’ Cabaret, and the films American Beauty and Revolutionary Road), embarked on a world tour, delighting audiences in cities including Singapore, Madrid, Auckland, Athens, and London. Year two of The Bridge Project promises another stellar transatlantic lineup that includes Christian Camargo (Broadway’s All My Sons, the film The Hurt Locker), Tony Award-winner Stephen Dillane, (Broadway’s The Real Thing, HBO’s John Adams), Obie Award-winner Ron Cephas Jones (Broadway’s Gem of the Ocean, Donmar’s Jesus Hopped the A-Train), Juliet Rylance (Theatre for a New Audience’s Othello), and Thomas Sadoski (Broadway’s reasons to be pretty and Reckless). In an intriguing pairing of two Shakespeare plays, Mendes and the company explore outcasts, power, and magical lands with their world premiering productions of the comedy As You Like It and The Tempest, considered to be Shakespeare’s last play.
