London Production
Its UK premier was in 2006 under the artistic direction of Kevin Spacey at the Old Vic. The play was directed by veteran film director Robert Altman. Echoing much of Spacey's reign at the Old Vic, it suffered mass criticism despite boasting a famous cast that included James Fox, Maximilian Schell and Neve Campbell. It was forced to close early especially after the actress playing Emily (the American film director) left the production. Spacey said the cast suffered from "nerves the like of which I've never seen".

Famous quotes containing the words london and/or production:
“The Thirties dreamed white marble and slipstream chrome, immortal crystal and burnished bronze, but the rockets on the Gernsback pulps had fallen on London in the dead of night, screaming. After the war, everyone had a car—no wings for it—and the promised superhighway to drive it down, so that the sky itself darkened, and the fumes ate the marble and pitted the miracle crystal.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“The myth of unlimited production brings war in its train as inevitably as clouds announce a storm.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
