Hey, there, fellow Shakespeare lovers! The Union County Board of County Commissioners in partnership with the City of Plainfield, is sponsoring a FREE screening of The Tragedy of Macbeth, a spectacular film adaptation of one of Shakespeare's most enduring tragedies, starring Academy Award winners Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand. The screening will take place next Saturday, November 19 at 7:00 pm at the Plainfield Performing Arts Center (PPAC), located at 724 Park Avenue in Plainfield. Light refreshments will be served! I hope to see you there! I am very excited to be hosting this haunting and powerful adaptation of Macbeth, one of my favorite Shakespearean works, and one that I teach nearly every semester. The performances by Washington and McDormand serve as a "master class" of brilliant acting by two of our most highly-regarded actors. Shot in crisp black and white, it is especially stunning to see the film at PPAC, with oversized screen and state-of-the-art sound system.
Please note that the film is rated R and is for mature audiences only.
