WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey owns the stage as Shakespeare's outrageous villain Richard III. At the climax of the Wars of the Roses, Richard watches his brother ascend the throne of England and confides in us--with all the profound bitterness of an outcast born with a hunchback and malformed leg--his intention to seize the crown. Navigating an imposing assemblage of some of Shakespeare's greatest female characters, Richard--played brilliantly by the mercurial and mordantly funny Spacey--lusts for power, assuring his own bloody rise and fall.
Academy Award winner Sam Mendes directs the transatlantic cast in the final production of The Bridge Project, a three-year partnership uniting BAM, The Old Vic, and Neal Street.

Talk about demonic office tyrants! Take the cruel on-screen figure Kevin Spacey recently played in Horrible Bosses, multiply the character by 10, and you begin to get the strength of his indelible interpretation of the title character in William Shakespeare's Richard III, now being presented by the Bridge Project at BAM.
There's little question that, as impressive as Mendes' earlier Bridge Project undertakings were, this production is his crowning achievement. It's also a notable addition to Spacey's resume as well, which boasts an Oscar for his performance in Mendes' award-winning American Beauty. Indeed, the two men certainly know how to entice the best from each other.
