Photo Flash: First Look at Patrick Stewart in BINGO at The Young Vic
By: James T Harding Feb. 24, 2012
Edward Bond's 1973 play BINGO opened last night at the Young Vic. See Patrick Stewart and Shakespeare and Richard McCabe as Ben Jonson in the photographs below, as well as afterparty shots featuring Sunny Ozell.
BINGO, co-produced by The Young Vic and Chichester Festival Theatre, is directed by Angus Jackson and runs from February 23 to March 31, 2012. Previews began February 16.
Bingo depicts Shakespeare in the last days of his life - ageing, facing poverty and lacking creative energy, until his poetry is suddenly once again unleashed by the catastrophic circumstances he faces.
Patrick Stewart first appeared in BINGO back in April 2010 at Chichester Festival's Minerva Theatre. He last appeared at the Young Vic in 1986 in Edward Albee's WHO'S AFRAID OF VIGINIA WOOLFE?
