Thespian Kenneth Branagh brings 'The Winter’s Tale' stage play to cinemas
Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company’s production of “The Winter’s Tale” comes to select U.S. cinemas for a special one-night event on Monday, November 30 at 7:30 p.m. local time.
“ The Guardian ” gives the staging four stars and “ The Spectator ” raves, “Branagh has produced a better version of this tricky play than any [recalled], and its beautifully rendered externals are exquisite.”
Shakespeareʼs timeless tragicomedy of obsession and redemption is reimagined and staged from London’s Garrick Theatre and stars a remarkable group of actors including Dame Judi Dench as Paulina, alongside Tom Bateman (Florizel), Jessie Buckley (Perdita), Hadley Fraser (Polixenes), Miranda Raison (Hermione) and Kenneth Branagh as Leontes.
“The Winter’s Tale” will be showing at select theatres across the country on Monday, November 30, including Citywalk at Universal City. Visit our AirTalk page or http://www.branaghtheatrelive.com for more cinema information.
