Reel Shakespeare

We 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, 6:30 p.m. on Mondays, Vancity Theatre, 1181 Seymour St.,
