Guild Hall presents a screening of the National Theatre Live: The Magistrate by Arthur Wing Pinero
08:00 pm
Guild Hall, 158 Main Street, East Hampton, NY. 11937.
Academy Award nominee and Tony Award-winner John Lithgow (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Shrek, 3rd Rock from the Sun) takes the title role in this uproarious Victorian farce, with Olivier Award-winner Nancy Carroll (After the Dance) as his wife Agatha. The director is Olivier Award-winner Timothy Sheader (Crazy for You and Into the Woods, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, London). With his louche air and a developed taste for smoking, gambling, alcohol and woman, it’s hard to believe Cis Farringdon is only fourteen. And that’s because he isn’t. Agatha, his mother, dropped five years from her true age – and his – when she married amiable magistrate Posket. When her deception looks set to be revealed, it sparks a series of hilarious indignities and outrageous mishaps.
