Then on Friday, December 16 from 8:00 – 10:30 pm, come on down for a screening of Julie Taymor’s The Tempest, a modern retelling of Shakespeare’s final masterpiece featuring Academy Award®-winner Helen Mirren leading a star-studded cast that includes Russell Brand, Alfred Molina, Djimon Hounsou, Alan Cumming, Chris Cooper and David Straitharn. Exiled to a magical island, the sorceress Prospera (Mirren) conjures up a storm that shipwrecks her enemies, and then unleashes her powers for revenge. It’s a supernatural dramedy filled with Shakespearean villains, lovers and fools that will leave you spellbound. * Please note – this film is rated PG 13 – for some nudity, suggestive content and scary images.
