King John - When the rule of a hedonistic and mercurial king is questioned, rebellion, assassination and excommunication ensue, culminating in the chilling attempt to commit an atrocity against a child, whose mother's anguished grief cannot atone for her blinkered ambitions for her son. Don't miss this rare opportunity to see Shakespeare's King John, starring Tom McCamus, Seana McKenna, Graham Abbey and Patricia Collins, directed by Tim Carroll. It screens April 8, 2015.
