Summer Film Series @ ND: 8/13-8/15

I just received a brochure in the mail the other day reminding me of the 2009 Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival. The mainstage production will be Twelfth Night, which runs the last two weeks of August. Also worth mentioning, though, is the film series they are running at the same time. If you'd like an excuse to watch some good films that will, among other things, prep you for Colloquium III (they all treat some aspect of 16th- and 17th-century England), go check out Twelfth Night (with Ben Kingsley and Helena Bonham Carter), Stage Beauty (with Claire Danes and Billy Crudup) or Shakespeare in Love (with Joseph Fiennes...think Luther....and Gwyneth Paltrow).
