Academy Award® Winner Christopher Plummer’s critically-acclaimed performance in the Stratford Shakespeare Festival’s production of The Tempest storms into select movie theaters on Thursday, June 14 at 7:00 p.m. local time followed by an exclusive Q&A with the actor and director.

The film was recorded live over two days at the legendary Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Canada. Plummer takes the classical role of a lifetime to the big screen, starring as Prospero in Shakespeare’s culminating masterpiece.
