Two New Stoppard Productions

THE CHERRY ORCHARD

A new version of Chekhov’s play by Tom Stoppard
and directed by Sam Mendes has opened in New York. The play is part of
The Bridge Project – a three-year collaboration between Brooklyn
Academy of Music, London’s Old Vic and Neal Street Productions - and
stars a mix of British and American talent including Sinead Cusack,
Simon Russell Beale and Ethan Hawke.

“The chief strengths of Stoppard’s adaptation are its conversational ease and erudite humor” Variety

“a nimble new version by Tom Stoppard that invites fresh comic shadings” New York Times

The play will open in London in May

EVERY GOOD BOY DESERVES FAVOUR

This play by Tom Stoppard has opened in London and is playing at the National’s Olivier Theatre until the end of February.

“This extraordinary play for actors and orchestra marked a turning
point in Tom Stoppard’s work in 1977; it showed him moving away from
exuberant extravaganzas towards engagement with the world’s injustice.
Now the piece… has been given a new lease of life by Punchdrunk’s Felix
Barrett and the National’s Tom Morris.
They have added a physical bavura to the work’s moral passion and
musical inventiveness, so that in 65 minutes we get an all-encompassing
piece of total theatre” The Guardian

“Felix Barrett and Tom Morris’s Production is ominously alive” The Times
