ODU Virginia Beach Shakespeare Day Two 4/18
Monday, April 18, at 7 pm there will be a film screening of - Still Dreaming - in Lecture Hall 244. Still Dreaming takes place at the Lillian Booth Actors Home just outside New York City, where a group of long-retired Broadway entertainers dive into a production of A Midsummers Night Dream and find that nothing is what it seems to be. With a play that is usually about young love and sex farce, this ensemble finds for them, the themes of perception, reality and dreaming deeply resonating at this stage of life. As they deal with the shifting mental and physical challenges of old age, they realize that creativity is a magic force of renewal. Starring Broadway luminaries from another era, Still Dreaming thrills with the force of its relevance for those of any age.
April 2016 will mark the 400th death anniversary of William Shakespeare. Communities across the US, Europe, and elsewhere, are organizing cultural events around this historic anniversary. Shakespeare’s world is in particular indelibly etched in the historically-rich area of Hampton Roads, Virginia. Therefore it is appealing to regional and national academic communities, as well as to the general public in and around Hampton Roads and Virginia. ODU Virginia Beach will be hosting events celebrating “Shakespeare 400 years After” on two days, both open to the public.
