The BAM winter/spring season will include The Royal Shakespeare Company's King & Country: Shakespeare’s Great Cycle of Kings along with works by New York-based company The Civilians, celebrated playwright Charles Mee and Oscar nominee David Hare.

The 2016 winter/spring subscriptions go on sale Nov. 16 and single tickets will be available Dec. 7; to purchase visit BAM.org or contact BAM Ticket Services at (718) 636-4100.

Theatrical programming kicks off Jan 16, 2016, with Mee's The Glory of the World, directed by Actors Theatre of Louisville artistic director Les Waters. The piece is an examination of renowned Kentucky-based mystic and Catholic monk Thomas Merton. "The Solo cups are overflowing at Merton’s centennial birthday celebration," state press notes. "As 17 men in party hats assemble to toast Merton’s many faces, asking: What makes a man? What makes a saint? What if nothing is sacred—and everything is?" Performances will run through Jan 31.

In February, BAM reunites with the celebrated Maly Drama Theatre of St. Petersburg for its production of The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov. The play will be presented in Russian with English subtitles; performances begin Feb. 17 and will run through Feb. 27.

In March, BAM stages The Civilians' Rimbaud in New York, written and directed by the company's artistic director Steve Cosson. The work is a playful and insightful exploration of "Illuminations," the 130-year-old book of prose poems that helped bring Rimbaud world-wide acclaim. Beginning performances March 24 and running through May 1, The Royal Shakespeare Company comes to BAM with King & Country: Shakespeare’s Great Cycle of Kings, a cycle of four Shakespeare plays about great monarchs staged by artistic director Gregory Doran. The company was last seen on Broadway with another royal multi bill, Wolf Hall Parts 1 & 2, this past spring.
