"Sam Mendes' robust staging of Stoppard's witty new adaptation boasts strong ensemble work, centered by the gravitas and emotional nuance of Simon Russell Beale's riveting Lopakhin."
—Variety

Beginning in January of 2009, some of the finest talents of New York and London theater converge at BAM to kick off an extraordinary venture-The Bridge Project-an unprecedented three-year, transatlantic partnership uniting BAM, The Old Vic, and Neal Street Productions. Academy Award winner (American Beauty) Sam Mendes, last at BAM with Uncle Vanya and Twelfth Night (2003 Spring Season), returns to direct a formidable group of actors in an ocean-spanning double bill of revered classics: The Cherry Orchard and The Winter's Tale.

Simon Russell Beale, Sinéad Cusack, and Rebecca Hall from the UK; and Richard Easton, Josh Hamilton, and Ethan Hawke from the US take the stage in Tony Award-winner Tom Stoppard's new version of The Cherry Orchard, Chekhov's daring, droll meditation on bourgeois materialism and what remains in its wake.
