Admission is Free! And there's no cover charge, but there is a two book checkout minimum...
Hint: This 2014 movie has GREAT actors (Ethan Hawke, Ed Harris, Milla Jovovich, John Leguizamo, Dakota Johnson,
Anton Yelchin, Bill Pullman)!! It's based on one of Shakespeare's plays, where the young wife is set up as
a cheater (another hint: it's not "Othello"). The king disapproved of his daughter's choice for a
husband anyway. Weird things happened and the young wife disguised herself as a male and left (yet another
hint: it's not "Twelfth Night," "Two Gents," nor "As You Like It"). In this movie, it's contemporized visually
and in time, but the language remains Shakespeare. Intrigued? The trailer will have you on the
edge of your seat:

Also featuring curtain riser music composed by Donna Stearns.
