The Cherry Orchard and The Winter's Tale, this year's Bridge Project, have just started previewing in NY at BAM (it opens on 14 January). Here's an
article about it. I can't wait until its time in London: the casting is wonderful (I can so see Simon as Leontes) and the director no slouch!

Thanks for reminding us. When will that be?

May at the Old Vic. But now in New York, and several other places in between.

I let Nell know about this thread & the link. She's going to see SRB in this production & is really looking forward to it.
Thanks, Jas. Jackie |

That's great, Jackie! I hope she has a wonderful time. I had her in mind when I wrote this post, and Shammy, who loved him in Much Ado. I just can't
wait to see this Cherry Orchard....Winter's Tale....Cherry Orchard...can't decide which one I'm looking forward to most! The Cherry Orchard, I
think. Richard Easton will be so moving as the old servant Firs, and Simon as Lopakhin....
 I'm almost tempted to see it at Epidaurus too....

Nell is doing OK, despite some health problems that prevent her from going out as much as she'd like, especially in this cold & slippery weather. She
was following the election closely, watching a zillion political programs & is addicted to Sudoku puzzles.
She occasionally reads the Forum, but has technical problems whenever she tries to post, but still thinks of the place fondly. Jackie |

Do, Katherine. I still haven't heard anything about it from early previews, but with Sam directing and SRB, Ethan Hawke, Sinead Cusack, Rebecca Hall and
Richard Easton starring, I would be astonished if it wasn't wonderful. Even if Sam did take a day off previews to fly to the Golden Globes last night! I
suspect that after it opens on Wednesday, it will quickly sell out.

Astonished if it wasn't wonderful and Ethan Hawk, in the same sentence? I am very skeptical about him!
What is this I am reading about Epidavros? E.xxx

Yes, it's going there in the summer. I'm tempted....
"after both plays close at the Brooklyn Academy on March 8, the company will visit Singapore, New Zealand, Spain and Germany before settling at the Old Vic for the summer. The project's first season (two more are in the works) will conclude, aptly enough, at the ancient theater of Epidaurus in Greece, where Britons and Americans are equal parvenus." (the point of the last phrase was because the whole project is excactly half and half British and American). Ethan Hawke was good in Coast of Utopia, but he is not the main attraction and he isn't what makes it potentially wonderful (for me): Sam and Simon do. But then, I know them best. |

Oh! That's GREAT!
I hope they come in July and not August. (August being usually the month we go on vacation and scheduling can be a b*tch!). Do you know when the performances end in London? The info is probably in that article you posted but I am at work and maybe you just remember? E.xxx

Well, I am not quite sure, what I do know is that there is only a certain number of performances throughout July and August each year. I assume that the last
performances are at the end of August. I can't remember if there was ever an early September perfornance but I think not! Anyway, the schedule is announced
very early on (March the latest?) so I might work my ways around it. I am sure Alkioni knows better!

I went to see Cherry Orchard yesterday at BAM
First, I LOVE this theather at BAM - Harvey theater, it remind me so much of Gainsborough theater which now gone, I went to see 2000 for Richard II and Corionalus! Very Authentic, reminds of ruins, and with half circled seating settings(Vivian Bermont theater at Lincoln Center where The Coast of Utopia was performed, and Olivier theater, National theater most recently I have seen Oedipus) really works so well! I saw many many wonderful plays there! Of course best was RF's Richard II, and Uncle Vanya, and Twelth Night back in 2002 with Simona Russel Beale both on it and Emily Watson, not to mention for both Uncle Vanya and Twelth Night, I had a stage seat, just inches from the stage! It was magical! Cherry Orchard - I enjoyed very much, best was Simona Russel Beale, NO SURPRISE! Act III last scene when Lopakhin confronted Renevskaya that he bought Cherry Orachrd was just mersmerizing! and he is most complex and interesting charecter from the play! This is Tom Stoppard version, and think it brought out lots of comedic side of play, Aftet all Chekhov wrote this play as Comedy! But if you read story, it is not actually comedy, of course there are lots of comedic scenes, I found common theme from Chekhov's play, I have seen - Ivanov, Seagull, Uncle Vanya and Cherry Orchard so far. For Sinaed Cussack, I liked her performance but some reason, I kept thinking How would it if Kristin Scott Thomas played this??? having seen her marvelous performance in " The Sea Gull" last Novemeber, It just stuck to me lot of common on these two charecter and I think Kristin can do both part so well! Rebecca Hall as Vayra, adopted daughter of Renevskaya was I thought very good, (She is on Frost/Nixon and Vicki, Christina, Barcelona this year, both very good) and she will be playing Hermoine in "The Winter's Tale" quite differnet! Look forward to see it! For American part of actors, I am most impressed with Richard Easton as old Firs whom represent old world! Ethan Hawks, I am sort of little tired of him, He plays same way as I have seen him other plays, Overall, I really enjoyed especially 2 live musicians played hidden balcony they were wonderful! Best, Katherine s |

I meant to say two live musicians played live music at the two bacolny seats, its look almost hidden, but if you look up, you can see musicians and they
were one playing percussion and one playing string instrument - Violin and Cello , very effectivly done!
