| THEATRE | |
| Shakespeare's Richard III, directed by Michael Kahn | |
| In Richard III, Shakespeare creates a self-proclaimed villain battling to obtain and retain the crown. A ruthless Machiavellian, Richard seduces and slaughters his enemies and relatives, becoming so tainted with blood that "sin will pluck on sin." Michael Kahn directs this gripping tragedy, one of Shakespeare's earliest and most enduring successes. Geraint Wyn Davies returns to play the dazzling title role. The Baltimore Sun praises Kahn for turning the Shakespeare Theatre Company "into the closest thing this country has to Britain's Royal Shakespeare Company." The production is part of the citywide celebration Shakespeare in Washington. There are four Canadians in this production: Geraint Wyn Davies who plays Richard III, Margot Dionne in the role of Queen Elizabeth, Donald Carrier who plays Earl Rivers and James Ricks in the role of the Second Murderer. Runtime: approximately 3 hours 10 minutes with one intermission. | |

| FILM | |
| La Pointe Courte ; The Cinema of Agnès Varda | |
| In her debut film, Varda interweaves two parallel stories: a married couple (Silvia Monfort and Philippe Noiret) struggling to save their relationship; and fishermen combating poverty and officialdom. 1954, 89 min. Preceded by L'opera-Mouffe (1958, 17 min.), a lyrical study of the Rue Mouffetarde in Paris. The only woman filmmaker to emerge from France's historic nouvelle vague of the 1950s and '60s, Agnès Varda is a pioneering director whose obsession and passion is to film the truth as she sees it. In doing so, she is inextricably linked to a select group of filmmakers who seek spiritual wisdom through the medium of film. All films in 35mm and French with English subtitles | |
