Brooklyn group, Old Vic to team
The Brooklyn Academy of Music is teaming up with London’s Old Vic theater company and Academy Award-winning director Sam Mendes to produce two plays a year that will run at both theaters.
The three-year venture, known as the Bridge Project, will start in 2008, when Mendes will direct a double bill of “Hamlet” and “The Tempest” featuring a cast of American and British actors.
The shows will play in Brooklyn from January to March and in London through May and June. A run in Italy is planned in between the two engagements.
