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:
“Oh, London is a man’s town, there’s power in the air;
And Paris is a woman’s town, with flowers in her hair;
And it’s sweet to dream in Venice, and it’s great to study Rome;
But when it comes to living, there is no place like home.”
—Henry Van Dyke (1852–1933)
“By bourgeoisie is meant the class of modern capitalists, owners of the means of social production and employers of wage labor. By proletariat, the class of modern wage laborers who, having no means of production of their own, are reduced to selling their labor power in order to live.”
—Friedrich Engels (1820–1895)
