If you think you know Shakespeare... think again!

Join Friends of Film for the Bard's birthday with our first feature film screening, "Titus."

Sunday April 26th, 2pm, in The Harwood Basement Theater.

Julie Taymor's visually stunning adaptation of what many scholars believe to be Shakespeare's first tragedy, "Titus" takes the viewer on a stylish roller-coaster of revenge and horror. An enviable array of actors, including Anthony Hopkins, Jessica Lange and Alan Cummings, bring a shimmering light, coupled with a wink of black humor, to what is surely the Bard's darkest play. "Titus Andronicus" is rarely performed on stage due to it's extreme content, but Taymor takes us by the hand and leads us down a harrowing, blood-stained path, through a carnival of glamour and gore, rattling our senses with indelible images.

Admission is $5.00 and benefits Friends of Film and the Harwood Art Center.
Seating is limited!
This film is not for children, nor the faint of heart!
