Shakespeare Plays

A screening of The Merry Wives of Windsor, a comedy reputed as the only play in which Shakespeare tackled the Elizabethan middle class. It’s followed on August 1 by Henry IV Part 1, on August 18 by Henry IV Part 2, and on September 15 by Henry VIII, whose staging in 1614 with an actual canon for special effects ignited and burnt down the Globe.

You can catch the shows at three Broward venues: Cinemark Paradise 24 (15601 Sheridan St., Fort Lauderdale), Cypress Creek Station 16 (6415 N. Andrews Ave., Fort Lauderdale), and Magnolia Place 16 (9645 Westview Drive, Coral Springs). Each screening begins at 7 p.m., and tickets cost $15. Visit fathomevents.com. .
