Old Vic-BAM Bridge Project Delayed By Illness

“Illness has forced postponement of the Bridge Project, a joint venture involving the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Old Vic theater company of London and the director Sam Mendes. … As a result, the Bridge Project will open at the Brooklyn Academy in January 2009 with Shakespeare’s ‘Winter’s Tale’ and Chekhov’s ‘Cherry Orchard,’ after rehearsals beginning in New York in October 2008.”
