    Academy award-winner performs alongside Branagh in big screen premiere in Sedona

    Sedona AZ (December 15, 2015) – The first season of the Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company Live promises an exceptional series of plays broadcast to cinemas from London’s Garrick Theatre over the course of a year. The first of the series is “The Winter’s Tale” — starring Academy Award-winner Judi Dench and Kenneth Branagh — showing in Dec. 26-30 in Sedona. The Sedona International Film Festival hosts the big screen premiere at its Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    “The Winter’s Tale” — Shakespeare’s timeless tragicomedy of obsession and redemption — is reimagined in a new production co-directed by Rob Ashford and Kenneth Branagh, following their triumphant staging of “Macbeth” in Manchester and Manhattan.

    King Leontes — King of Sicilia — appears to have everything: power, wealth, a loving family and friends. But sexual jealousy sets in motion a chain of events with tragic consequences. His actions and their consequences reverberate throughout his kingdom and for generations to come. Only the passion of two young lovers and the twists and turns of fate can lead the characters to redemption and reconciliation.

    “The Winter’s Tale” stars a remarkable, award-winning group of actors, featuring Judi Dench as Paulina, alongside Tom Bateman (Florizel), Jessie Buckley (Perdita), Hadley Fraser (Polixenes), Miranda Raison (Hermione) and Kenneth Branagh as Leontes.

    ” ‘The Winter’s Tale’ is possibly Shakespeare’s most perfect play … and this production, co-directed by Branagh and Rob Ashford, is magical. It is hard to imagine the play more movingly performed. It’s a gift to eye and heart.” — The Guardian.

    The Telegraph calls the production “Brilliant!”

Showtimes are 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Dec. 26, 27 and 28; and 7 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday, Dec. 29 and 30. Tickets are $15, or $12.50 for Film Festival members.

    The Bloody Machine
    By Tommy Acosta
    What is a life anyway? A single “life?” Is it nothing more than a collection of emotions and thoughts, reverberating pain and pleasure, hopes, dreams and fear? Are we merely meat; flesh and blood creations encapsulating what we believe is a soul? Or is a single life the microcosm and macrocosm of human life on earth, each one of us a unique representation of who we believe we are and the whole of humanity at once? We are born. We grow old. We die. Everything we experience is but a dream between those two points. Or are we manifestations of a Divine Creator, every one of us complete in the image that we were made? So, we are told.
