Kevin Spacey, Jessica Hynes Talks About Broadway Play 'The Norman Conquests'

Actors Kevin Spacey and Jessica Hynes stopped by the studio this morning to talk about their roles in the new Broadway play "The Norman Conquests" Spacey is the play's artistic director and Hynes stars as Annie. The play's official website says:

"The Norman Conquests" is three interlocking full-length plays -- Table Manners, Living Together and Round and Round the Garden -- that are ingeniously written to be enjoyed individually or as a trilogy, and can be seen in any order. The plays will be performed on a rotating schedule during the week and can also be seen altogether on "Trilogy days."

Set in the dining room ("Table Manners"), living room ("Living Together") and garden ("Round and Round the Garden") of an English country house, "The Norman Conquests" follows six characters - assistant librarian Norman, his wife, in-laws and the local vet - from Saturday night through Monday morning. We watch as desperate lothario Norman (Stephen Mangan) attempts to seduce his sister-in-law Annie (Hynes), charm his brother-in-law's wife Sarah (Amanda Root) and woo his estranged wife Ruth (Amelia Bullmore), during a disastrously hilarious weekend of eating, drinking and misunderstanding. With his characteristic compassionate humor, Ayckbourn explores the disappointments bubbling beneath the surface as his characters' dreams of love and fulfillment go amiss.

"The Norman Conquests" is playing a limited 16-week engagement at Circle In The Square Theater School (1633 Broadway, between 50th and 51st Streets). Previews for the show begin today and the show opens on Thursday, April 23. For ticket and show information, visit www.NormanConquestsOnBroadway.com.
