'Sisters,' 'Like It' for Bridge Project

Mendes to direct trans-Atlantic repertory outings

Chekhov’s “Three Sisters” and Shakespeare’s “As You Like It” will be the second pair of repertory outings for the Bridge Project, the trans-Atlantic collaboration between Sam Mendes, Brooklyn Academy of Music and London’s Old Vic.

Mendes will again direct both plays, just as earlier this year he directed the project’s initial duo of plays, “The Cherry Orchard” and “The Winter’s Tale.”

Following the same model as this year, “Three Sisters” and “As You Like It” will bow at BAM in January, with engagements abroad to follow. No casting has yet been announced.
