I have a pair of tickets, ORCHESTRA FRONT ROW CENTER, for the Bridge Project’s production of Richard III with Kevin Spacey in the title role. The venue is the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and the tickets are for Wednesday, February 15
th,
at 7:30 p.m. This production is directed by Sam Mendes, who had previously directed Simon Russell Beale in the same role in an acclaimed RSC production (and, more famously, Mendes also directed Spacey in his Oscar-winning performance in American Beauty.
It’s an excellent production. I saw it previously and liked it, especially Spacey’s appropriately hammy performance, and the reviews have been quite positive. The face value of the pair of tickets is $240, and, rather than selling them on Stub Hub, I’ve decided
to donate them to a good cause: the Camp Shakespeare program that Doc is running every summer at Winedale. So, the tickets will be given to the first person who emails me at
rpees@akingump.com
and volunteers to make a contribution to Camp Shakespeare at the $500 level or greater.
