The 40th Hong Kong Arts Festival proudly presents the next edition of The Bridge Project following the success of The Tempest, directed by Sam Mendes, at the Festival in 2010.

Sam Mendes returns to the stage to direct Old Vic Artistic Director Kevin Spacey in the title role of Richard III in the final season of The Bridge Project. This transatlantic endeavour reunites them for the first time since American Beauty, for which they both won BAFTA and Academy Awards.

The full company will again be drawn from leading American and British actors and will embark on an international tour after premiering at The Old Vic this June.
