The Ridgefield Playhouse is back, bringing award-winning theater to the big screen. This summer we're giving you a front row seat to some of the biggest names in entertainment - including James Corden, Sally Field, Bill Pullman, Benedict Cumberbatch and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. London's National Theatre in HD will return with four encore screenings as part of the Northern Trust Broadway & Cabaret Series with support from Teed & Brown.

The series kicks off with Benedict Cumberbatch (BBC's Sherlock, Doctor Strange) in the title role of Shakespeare's great tragedy - Hamlet. Now seen by more than 900,000 people worldwide, the original broadcast returns for an encore in HD screening on Thursday, July 9 at 7pm.

Now see the hilarious, award-winning, one-woman show that inspired the BBC's hit TV series Fleabag, captured live from London's West End, on Saturday, July 11 at 8pm. Written and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Killing Eve) and directed by Vicky Jones, it's a rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life.
