Reel Shakespeare
MAY 3RD, 2010Reel ShakespeareWe doth portend that thou shalt be asked by a gentleman to attendeth Bard on the Beach this fair summer. If what they speaketh dost confuses thee, make study of the screen. Partnering with the festival, the Vancity Theatre is prepping audiences for the four Shakespearean plays that take the stage come June. The film versions of Much Ado About Nothing, Antony and Cleopatra, Falstaff (called Chimes at Midnight) and Henry V will show on Mondays in May, starting tonight. Each screening is introduced and followed by discussion, so you can ask questions now and sound absurdly smart later. Forsooth, concession candy trumps CliffNotes. Bard on Screen, Mondays at 6:30 p.m., Vancity Theatre, 1181 Seymour St., Vancouver, 604-683-3456, www.vifc.org
