AMNESIASCOPE: CYMBELINE (with Michael Almereyda Q&A)

Amnesiascope and the Brooklyn Center for Theatre Research are proud to present a special screening of Michael Almereyda's Shakespeare adaptation CYMBELINE starring Daktoa Johnson, Ethan Hawke, Penn Badgley, Ed Harris, Milla Jovovich, Anton Yelchin, and Delroy Lindo. Almereyda will be present for a post-film Q&A.Adapted from one of Shakespeare's marvelous (albeit lesser-known) play, CYMBELINE turns its source into a distinctly contemporary spin on youth culture, biker gangs, and dirty cops. At once faithful to the Bard while skirting strictures of adaptation for a grand experiment, Almereyda treats the Western Canon as canvas—it's some of the funniest and freest Shakespeare's ever been onscreen.
