Barrymore

The acclaimed stage production BARRYMORE starring Academy Award® winner Christopher Plummer, directed & adapted by Érik Canuel, will be screening at Light House Cinema for a limited season.  Based on the play by William Luce, the film is set in 1942 and follows acclaimed American actor John Barrymore, a member of one of Hollywood’s most well known multi-generational theatrical dynasties. No longer a leading box office star, the film finds Barrymore reckoning with the ravages of his life of excess. He has rented a grand, old theatre to rehearse for a backer’s audition to raise money for a revival of his 1920 Broadway triumph in Richard III. It leads him to look back on the highs and lows of his stunning career and remarkable life.

Directed, and adapted for the screen, by Érik Canuel (Bon Cop, Bad Cop), BARRYMORE stars Christopher Plummer in the tour de force performance of his career.

Screenings consist of the stage production as well as a behind the scenes documentary.
