﻿
Hailed as “a masterpiece of 21st century dance” Akram Khan’s Giselle gives ballet fans worldwide the opportunity to see this award-winning production in glorious high definition on the big screen. Recognized as one of the greatest romantic ballets, Giselle has been re-imagined by celebrated choreographer Akram Khan, with Artistic Director and Lead Principal of English National Ballet, Tamara Rojo, dancing the role of Giselle, one of a community of migrant workers cast out of their jobs in a condemned garment factory.
“A beautiful and intelligent remaking of the beloved classic”
– New York Times
“Khan’s choreography has never looked better”
– The Times
His first full length ballet, Khan’s Giselle features set and costume designs from Academy Award-winning designer Tim Yip, known for his work on the hit film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and an adaptation of the original Adolphe Adam score by composer Vincenzo Lamagna, orchestrated by Music Director, Gavin Sutherland and performed live by English National Ballet Philharmonic.
Alongside Rojo, further Principal casting sees Soloist James Streeter perform in the role of Albrecht, Guest Artist and Principal of American Ballet Theater Jeffrey Cirio perform as Hilarion, and Artist of the Company, Stina Quagebeur perform in the role of Myrtha, Queen of the Wilis.
The ballet has won an Olivier Award, the South Bank Sky Arts Award for Dance, and Akram Khan won the 2017 Critics’ Circle National Dance Award for Best Classical Choreography for Giselle. The production has received rapturous 5-star reviews and was sold out when performed at London’s Sadler’s Wells. This is the first time an English National Ballet production has been filmed for cinema, extending the reach of the company beyond its existing national and international touring program. The film was commissioned by The Space, the digital agency which supports UK arts organisations to grow their audiences across digital, cinema and broadcast platforms.
Filmed during a live event, the Live Cinema Series broadcasts offer audiences an equivalent to the best seat in the house, with incredibly detailed close-ups of the performers. The Live Cinema – Ballet Series is sponsored in part by The Dance Center of Walla Walla and Shakespeare Walla Walla.
This screening has an approximate runtime of 2 hours. Beer, wine, popcorn, and snacks will be available for purchase, and may be taken into the theater.

*POSTPONED* Don Reed: "East 14th"
2020-04-18 19:00 - 20:30 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
This event was rescheduled to June 4, 2021 due to COVID-19 restrictions. Patrons with tickets have been contacted by e-mail.

Growing up in Oakland, California, Don Reed’s mother and stepfather raised him to be a middle-class, straight-A, God-fearing church boy, but Don Reed wanted to be like his biological father. Too bad he didn’t know that dear old dad was an actual pimp.
“Hilarious!”
– The New Yorker
“Unexpectedly touching.”
– San Francisco Chronicle
Don Reed has written, performed, directed, and produced five solo shows in New York City, San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, and Los Angeles. His flagship show East 14th was so popular in Berkeley, it was extended 22 times, and spurred the opening of a second Marsh theater, where it ran for an additional 18 months. The show earned Reed the 2016 TBA: Theater Bay Area Award for Outstanding Production of a Solo Show and an NAACP Double Nominee for Best Actor & Best Playwright, and in 2016, he won the Performance of the Year award on NPR’s “Snap Judgement” with an excerpt from East 14th titled “I Miss Toni.”
“Nobody does what Don Reed does. The Brother is quite simply amazing, versatile & hilarious.”
– Academy Award Winner Jamie Foxx
Don Reed is currently playing one of the lead roles in the Amazon Prime comedy series Bartlett, co-financed and with recurring role by Lin Manuel Miranda – composer/creator of the Broadway smash Hamilton. Reed is also currently producing Robert Townsend’s solo tour de force Living the Shuffle.
Don Reed’s memorable performance on an HBO Partners and Crime special of up-and-coming comedians years ago caught the attention of Hollywood and led to many recurring and guest starring roles. You may have heard his voice on: Spiderman, Johnny Quest, SNL, and most recently as the voice of the cat on 2 Broke Girls. Additionally, Don has written, directed, produced and starred in short films for HBO Shorts, and can be seen on Netflix in the feature film Unleashed alongside stars from Showtime’s Shameless. Reed was the opening act/warm-up comedian for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno for more than 1,000 episodes, and recently shared an excerpt story from East 14th – on NPR/WYNC’s Snap Judgment so compelling that it will be woven into the graduate writing curriculum at American University in Washington D.C.

*POSTPONED* Live Cinema Series: "La bohème" - The Royal Opera
2020-04-01 18:00 - 21:00 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
This event is being postponed due to the efforts to slow the COVID-19 coronavirus. Patrons with tickets will be contacted directly as soon as possible, once new dates are in place.

﻿
La bohème explores the love affair between the penniless poet Rodolfo and the seamstress Mimì, contrasting it with the more light-hearted affair between the painter Marcello and the singer Musetta. Mimì is gravely ill with tuberculosis and she and Rodolfo decide to separate so that Mimì can find a wealthier lover to provide her with the care she needs. They are reunited in Mimì’s final hours when she returns to the only man she ever loved.
Director Richard Jones’s wonderful production of La bohème, revived by Julia Burbach, captures both the opera’s humour and its tragedy, while Stewart Laing’s eye-catching designs bring 19th-century Paris to life, particularly in Act II with its dazzling shopping arcades and café. The score is one of Puccini’s finest, with highlights including Rodolfo and Mimì’s Act I arias and love duet, Act II’s Christmas choruses and the heartbreaking final scene in which Mimì and Rodolfo are reunited.
The fantastic cast include America tenor Charles Castronovo (Rodolfo) and Bulgarian soprano Sonya Yoncheva (Mimì), along with Polish baritone Andrzej Filończyk as Marcello, Russian soprano Aida Garifullina in her Royal Opera debut as Musetta, Hungarian baritone, and former jette Parker Young Artist, Gyula Nagy as Schaunard and Slovakian bass Peter Kellner as Colline. French conductor Emmanuel Villaume conducts.
Filmed during a live event, the Live Cinema Series broadcasts offer audiences an equivalent to the best seat in the house, with incredibly detailed close-ups of the performers. The Live Cinema Series is sponsored in part by Shakespeare Walla Walla.
This screening has an approximate runtime of 2 hours 45 minutes, including one intermission. Beer, wine, popcorn, and snacks will be available for purchase, and may be taken into the theater.

*POSTPONED* Between and Behind Bars: A Movie Crush Varietal (short films)
2020-03-28 19:00 - 21:00 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
This event is being postponed due to the efforts to slow the COVID-19 coronavirus. Patrons with tickets will be contacted directly as soon as possible, once new dates are in place.

Join us for an evening of harmony and discord: two blocks of short films, focused first on music and its healing powers, followed by an examination of incarceration and its lasting impacts. Each hour-long block will contain short films in a variety of genres: narratives, documentaries, animation, and music videos, forming a visual mixtape for all tastes and temperaments.

BEATS, BARS AND PHRASES
Music has the power to unite us, a language understood by all, even if the lyrics don’t always translate. In this tuneful hour, you’ll hear how music functions, how a band dysfunctions, how a late rocker takes inspiration, how an educator provides inspiration, how a cassette offers escape and how a playlist alters our emotional states.

BAR NONE
America has the highest incarceration rate in the world, warehousing 716 of every 100,000 citizens. The US represents only 4.4% of global population, yet comprises 22% of the global prison population. While justice must be served out, how punishment is doled out is debatable. This powerful package explores the effects of imprisonment on felons, families and democracy. In this hour, you’ll see how our penal system treats jailed mothers, ex-offenders, future voters and death row inmates. The truth shall set us free?
Admission to this event is at the door by donation, with proceeds going to Walla Walla Music Organization and the Post-Prison Education Program. Let your friends on Facebook know you are going and invite them to join you!
The annual Walla Walla Movie Crush celebrates the most intoxicating blend of American short film over the course of three days each July at Gesa Power House Theatre. The festival showcases narratives, documentaries, animation, music videos and experimental films grouped in themed packages.

The Walla Walla Music Organization brings opportunities for creative expression through audio education to Walla Walla’s youth. The organization provides the guidance and support students need to be successful in the field of music production, while also unlocking confidence in their abilities and dreams.
Founded in 2005, the Post-Prison Education Program is the only program in Washington State that offers wrap-around services to releasing prisoners and their families in conjunction with providing them access, support, and the resources to attain post-secondary education. The program offers hope and creates opportunity for people returning to society by providing access to higher education. Imprisoned and formerly imprisoned people are offered the tools and human support they need to find gainful, meaningful employment, and break free from cycles of hopelessness, poverty, and imprisonment and become leaders for change.

*POSTPONED* The High Kings
2020-03-27 19:00 - 20:30 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
This event has been rescheduled for Saturday, March 27, 2021. Patrons with tickets have been contacted by e-mail to confirm the new dates. This event is still SOLD OUT at this time.

The High Kings are Finbarr Clancy, Darren Holden, Brian Dunphy and newest member Paul O’ Brien. The band formed in 2007 when Brian, Darren, Finbarr and former member Martin Furey were asked to join a brand new Irish ballad group by David Kavanagh after he had noticed a gap in the market for a band specializing in traditional Irish music.
It didn’t take long during their first studio rehearsal for them to realize that the way their individual voices blended together, they were onto something special. The High Kings play 13 instruments between them creating the unique sound and atmosphere that they still showcase to this day.
Their self-titled debut album reached number two on the Billboard World Music chart, and in 2009, The High Kings played five consecutive sold out shows in Dublin’s Olympia Theatre and licensed their second studio album “Memory Lane” to Universal Music Ireland – signifying the fast trajectory that the band had taken in their short lifespan. “Memory Lane” went platinum only four months after its release.
Over the past 12 years The High Kings have toured frequently, and released four studio albums, two live albums and two DVDs. In 2017, they released a compilation album “Decade” which celebrated 10 amazingly successful years together and also included five brand new recordings.
In 2012 they performed for President Obama in Moneygall, this led to a personal invitation from the president to perform at the 2012 White House St. Patrick’s Day celebration. They flew directly from London where they had already been the headline act for the Lord Mayor of London’s St. Patrick’s Day concert. In 2015 The High Kings were invited to the Pentagon as guests of General Martin Dempsey, who is the Chairman of the The Joint Chiefs of Staff. They performed alongside the US Marine Corps band marking another special occasion for the band.
The High Kings set the bar extremely high for Irish Folk bands across the world and are widely regarded to be at the forefront of the genre. The High Kings continue to perform to sold out venues across the globe to their ever-growing army of loyal fans that span generations.

Gesa Power House Theatre presents a screening of the 2019 documentary film Human Nature on Wednesday, March 11 at 7:00 p.m.
From executive producer Dan Rather and director Adam Bolt, the co-writer and editor of the Oscar-winning film Inside Job, comes the story of the biggest tech revolution of the 21st Century. And it isn’t digital, it’s biological.
﻿
“Eye-popping film that should become required viewing for students and people of all ages.”
– Glide Magazine
A breakthrough called CRISPR has given us unprecedented control over the basic building blocks of life. It opens the door to curing diseases, reshaping the biosphere, and designing our own children. Human Nature is a provocative exploration of CRISPR’s far-reaching implications, through the eyes of the scientists who discovered it, the families it’s affecting, and the bioengineers who are testing its limits. How will this new power change our relationship with nature? What will it mean for human evolution? To begin to answer these questions we must look back billions of years and peer into an uncertain future.

Farewell Angelina - country music
2020-03-07 19:00 - 21:00 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
Gesa Power House Theatre presents all-female country group Farewell Angelina in concert on Saturday, March 7, 2020 at 7:00 p.m.
﻿
Named after a haunting Bob Dylan song, Farewell Angelina features four powerful vocalists, dynamic songwriters and accomplished multi-instrumentalists. Their stellar blend of heart-stopping harmonies over blazing double violins and guitars has earned soaring praise across the board. Roughstock calls Farewell Angelina a “Superstar Act… with Killer Songs.” Rolling Stone says, “Wickedly smart songwriting delivered with a healthy dash of sass… deft playing… into one sonic knockout punch.”
Since last performing in Walla Walla, Farewell Angelina released their first album, “Women and Wine.” Their music video for the single “Ghosts” was #1 on the CMT 12Pack Countdown for five weeks, and in the top three spots for eight weeks.
﻿
“This female quartet has flawlessly rehearsed vocal harmonies to spare.”
-Bob Oermann, Music Row
A band of longtime friends, Nicole Witt, Andrea Young, Lisa Torres, and Ashley Gearing all met pursuing their dreams in Nashville, Tennessee. Each deeply respected and admired one another while they were building successful solo careers, touring and recording with top artists, and writing songs for some of Country Music’s biggest hitmakers.
Farewell Angelina’s chemistry lives in watching each other shine, and most of all, creating moments every night with the Country Music fans they love so much. The relationship they share with their fans won them the fan-voted “Hot Seat” spot of the Taste of Country 2017 “RISERS” Program by more than 20,000 votes.
Farewell Angelina was named among Rolling Stone’s “New Artists You Need To Know,” and Roughstock’s “Ones to Watch” and have opened shows for the likes of Kenny Chesney, Old Dominion, Frankie Ballard, Jake Owen, Billy Currington, Maroon 5, and Trace Adkins, to name a few. The band joined the Bacon Brother’s (Kevin & Michael) as the opening act on many dates of their last two summer tours, and they are currently headlining their own “Women & Wine Tour” promoting their newest album to packed crowds across the United States.

On February 4, Netflix premiered Tom’s fourth hour-long stand-up special, Tom Papa: You’re Doing Great! A hilarious rebuttal to our current cultural feeling of dread, Tom wants you to remember that you’re doing OK; life isn’t perfect, it never will be, and that’s OK.
On May 12, Tom will release his second book, You’re Doing Great!: And Other Reasons To Stay Alive, a collection of essays on how people really live in modern America and what’s truly good and wonderful about our lives. Tom’s first book, Your Dad Stole My Rake: And Other Family Dilemmas, was released on June 5, 2018 from St Martin’s Press, making “Summer Must Read” lists from Parade Magazine to The New York Post. The comedic book takes a hilarious look at the host of characters in our families with bizarre, inescapable behavior.
Tom is host of the daily Netflix radio show, What A Joke With Papa And Fortune, on SiriusXM’s Netflix Channel, airing Mondays through Thursdays from 10:00 AM – Noon ET.
Tom is a writer and regular performer on the nationally syndicated radio show, Live From Here, a variety show hosted by Chris Thile that features a unique blend of musical and comedy performances. Tom is featured on the show in his own regular segment, “Out. In. America. With Tom Papa,” heard by the 2.6 million fans of the weekly radio show.
Tom also appears on National Public Radio several times a year as a guest panelist on Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me. This year Tom had the honor to guest host the program, filling in for Peter Segal.
In the fall of 2018, Tom hosted his own Food Network TV series, Baked, where he took his love of baking and explored bakeries throughout the country. The show developed from Tom’s love of making sourdough bread using his own sourdough starter and visiting expert bakers while on tour.
Tom’s third hour-long stand-up special, Human Mule, is now available to rent or buy on iTunes, Google Play, Amazon and other major outlets. The special is available to stream on Amazon and Hulu and had its TV premiere on December 9, 2016 on Epix.
Tom’s first two, critically acclaimed hour-long specials were directed by Rob Zombie: Tom Papa: Freaked Out (2013) is streaming on Amazon and Hulu and is available as a download; and Tom Papa Live in New York City (2011) is streaming on Netflix and is available as a download.
Tom is host of the hit podcast and SiriusXM show, Come to Papa, a weekly, hour-long show featuring Tom exploring the funny side of life. Several times a year in New York and Los Angeles, Tom hosts a live Come To Papa scripted radio play that is recorded live for the podcast and SiriusXM show. With residencies at Largo in Los Angeles and The Village Underground in NYC, Tom writes the script for each show and casts top actors and comedians to play the roles or perform stand-up, all backed by a live band. Performers include Matt Damon, Sarah Silverman, Joel McHale, Bill Burr, Jim Gaffigan, John Mulaney, Kevin Nealon, Kevin Pollack and many more.
In 2019, Tom was seen in Rob Zombie’s film, 3 From Hell, the sequel to The Devil’s Rejects. In 2015, Tom guest starred on The Jim Gaffigan Show on TV Land and on Colin Quinn’s web series, Cop Show.

Tom has appeared in the films Analyze That, opposite Robert DeNiro, and Comedian; he had a voiceover role in the DreamWorks animated feature “Bee Movie” and also was a writer on the project.
Personally chosen by Jerry Seinfeld, Tom hosted the NBC series, The Marriage Ref, which ran for two seasons. Tom had a recurring role opposite Julia Louis-Dreyfus on the CBS series, The New Adventures of Old Christine, and starred in his own NBC series, Come to Papa.

Live Cinema Series "The Sleeping Beauty" - The Royal Ballet
2020-02-26 18:00 - 21:00 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
The Live Cinema Series continues at Gesa Power House Theatre with a screening of The Royal Ballet’s current production of The Sleeping Beauty on Wednesday, February 26 at 6:00 p.m.
﻿
★★★★★ The Stage
★★★★★ Bachtrack
Journey with The Royal Ballet to an enchanted world of princesses, fairy godmothers and magical spells in this landmark production of Petipa’s classic ballet, to Tchaikovsky’s glorious music.
This production of The Sleeping Beauty has been delighting audiences in Covent Garden since 1946. A classic of Russian ballet, it established The Royal Ballet both in its new home after World War II and as a world-class company. Sixty years later, in 2006, the original staging was revived, returning Oliver Messel’s wonderful designs and glittering costumes to the stage. Pyotr Il’yich Tchaikovsky’s enchanting score and Marius Petipa’s original choreography beautifully combine with sections created for The Royal Ballet by Frederick Ashton, Anthony Dowell and Christopher Wheeldon. This ballet is sure to cast its spell over anyone who sees it.
The Sleeping Beauty is based on the fairytale of the same name. The wicked fairy Carabosse is furious when she isn’t invited to the christening of Princess Aurora (Lauren Cuthbertson) and to get retribution, Carabosse pronounces a curse: when Aurora grows up she will prick her finger on a spindle and die. The Lilac Fairy alters the curse, so that rather than dying Aurora will fall into a deep sleep from which she can be awakened by a prince. On Aurora’s 16th birthday, she does indeed prick her finger, and along with the entire court falls into an enchanted sleep. The Lilac Fairy leads Prince Florimund (Federico Bonelli) to awaken Aurora with a kiss. Aurora and the court regain consciousness, and celebrate the marriage of Princess Aurora and Prince Florimund.
Filmed during a live event, the Live Cinema Series broadcasts offer audiences an equivalent to the best seat in the house, with incredibly detailed close-ups of the performers. The Live Cinema Series is sponsored in part by Shakespeare Walla Walla.

Live Cinema Series: "Coppélia" - The Royal Ballet
2020-02-05 18:00 - 21:00 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
The Live Cinema Series continues at Gesa Power House Theatre with a screening of The Royal Ballet’s current production of Coppélia on Wednesday, February 5 at 6:00 p.m.
﻿
Charming and funny, Coppélia tells a story of love, mischief and mechanical dolls. A family-friendly classic of The Royal Ballet’s repertory, the ballet was choreographed by Royal Ballet founder Dame Nineete de Valois. Her choreography is technically complex and requires impeccable comic timing from the dancers.
The cast of this production features Marianela Nuñez as the feisty Swanilda, Vadim Muntagirov as her beloved Franz, and Gary Avis as the magician Dr. Coppélius.
Dr. Coppélius appears to have a beautiful daughter – Coppélia. Franz becomes infatuated with her, which upsets his fiancée, Swanilda. She and her friends break into the doctor’s house only to discover that Coppélia is one of several life-sized mechanical dolls that the doctor has created. Dr. Coppélius kidnaps Franz, hoping to sacrifice him and bring Coppélia to life, however, Swanilda makes the mechanical dolls dance, distracting the doctor so she and Franz can escape. Fortunately, Dr. Coppélius is not as villainous as he first seems, and in the final act he makes peace with Swanilda and Franz who are now free to marry.

James Judd (stand-up storyteller)
2020-01-25 19:00 - 20:30 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
Stand-up storyteller James Judd will perform at Gesa Power House Theatre on Saturday, January 25 at 7:00 p.m.

Monologuist and humorist James Judd, frequent headliner of NPR‘s Snap Judgment, has accidentally ended up in a whorehouse in China while working as a banned journalist, single-handedly ruined more than a half dozen good jobs (and counting) in industries ranging from journalism to law, and is a former patient—and current pen pal—of sham Manhattan dermatologist turned Attica prisoner Dean Faiello. Judd is also is a writer and performer whose comic, autobiographic tales crowd the stage with hilarious characters and situations.
Often compared to David Sedaris and Oscar Wilde, Judd connects with audiences as he shares stories classified as “spectacular public embarrassments and utter failures.” However humiliating, they affirm that part of being human is telling the stories that have happened to us, emphasizing that even in the face of failure, it’s getting up and moving forward that matters.
The Washington Post says, “Judd’s conversation style is loud, lightning fast and nonstop — he doesn’t seem to need to breathe as much as a typical human — and the result is a constantly engaging pileup of quips. It can take a few moments for a joke to register, but by then Judd has unfurled a few more laugh-worthy lines. One of Judd’s biggest assets is his delivery, which rarely feels rehearsed, as if he’s simply recounting these absorbing personal anecdotes over dinner. And his talents extend to physical humor, whether he’s imitating a shark or mimicking an oafish boat captain.”
A former member of the Los Angeles based improv group (and Saturday Night Live training ground) The Groundlings, Judd worked the stand-up circuit until age 30, when he decided to go to law school to become a criminal defense attorney. (He’s still licensed in New Hampshire.) An epiphany as an underprepared law student making his debut in criminal court—detailed in his story “The Defense Rests”—propelled him back to comedy, where he opted for autobiographic storytelling instead of stand-up for a more theatrical and satisfying experience for himself and his audience.

The Royal Ballet’s glorious production of The Nutcracker, created by Peter Wright in 1984, is the production par excellence of an all-time ballet favorite. It is Christmas Eve and Herr Drosselmeyer the magician sweeps young Clara away on a fantasy adventure in which time is suspended, the family living-room becomes a great battlefield, and a magical journey takes them through the Land of Snow to the Kingdom of Sweets. Tchaikovsky’s glittering score, the gorgeous festive stage designs, and The Royal Ballet’s captivating dancing including an exquisite pas de deux between the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Prince, make this Nutcracker a quintessential Christmas experience.

Live Cinema Series: Mixed Program - The Royal Ballet
2019-12-08 14:00 - 17:00 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
The 2019 Live Cinema Series continues at Gesa Power House Theatre with a screening of a current mixed ballet program by The Royal Ballet on Sunday, December 8 at 2:00 p.m. This production was filmed live in London and is rebroadcast to select theaters.
﻿
From The Royal Ballet’s classical origins in the works of Marius Petipa, to the home-grown choreographers who put British ballet on the world stage, this mixed program highlights the versatility of the Company. Petipa’s Raymonda Act III is Russian classical ballet summarized in one act, full of sparkle and precise technique, while Frederick Ashton’s Enigma Variations is quintessentially British in every way – from its score by Elgar and period designs by Julia Trevelyan Oman, to Ashton’s signature style, the essence of British ballet. Concerto, Kenneth MacMillan’s fusion of classical technique with a contemporary mind, completes a program that shows the breadth of The Royal Ballet’s heritage.
Filmed during a live event, the Live Cinema Series broadcasts offer audiences an equivalent to the best seat in the house, with incredibly detailed close-ups of the performers. The Live Cinema Series is sponsored in part by Shakespeare Walla Walla.
This screening has an approximate runtime of 3 hours. Beer, wine, popcorn, and snacks will be available for purchase, and may be taken into the theater.

“This production is magical. A gift to the eye and heart”
– Observer
King Leontes appears to have everything: power, wealth, a loving family and friends. But sexual jealousy sets in motion a chain of events with tragic consequences.
Shakespeare’s timeless tragicomedy of obsession and redemption was reimagined in a production co-directed by Rob Ashford and Kenneth Branagh. The production featured a remarkable group of actors, including Dame Judi Dench as Paulina and Kenneth Branagh as Leontes, alongside Tom Bateman (Florizel), Jessie Buckley (Perdita), Hadley Fraser (Polixenes), and Miranda Raison (Hermione). Dench won her eighth Olivier award for her performance in this production.
