Kevin Spacey will star as Richard III in Sam Mendes’ production of the Shakespeare classic. The show will open on June 29 at the Old Vic, where Spacey is the artistic director, and then play at BAM in New York in early 2012. “I am absolutely delighted to be working with Kevin again for the first time since American Beauty,” Mendes said in a statement announcing the play. “Richard III is a play I love, and a role I think Kevin is born to play.”

Eww, why Spacey? He is overrated.
you must be crazy! Spacey is a true artist on stage.
clearly,jmcg,,you have never seen Spacey give a live performance. I saw him in RIII and the audience and I were completely astounded by his magnificent performance…
That’s too bad – I thought Kevin Spacey was announcing that he’s coming out of the closet. What’s he waiting for?
