THE BRITISH Film Institute has organised a mass screening of the classic film, Richard III, starring Ian McKellen, to mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death.
Suitably enough, one of the venues for the one night only event will be the Stratford upon Avon Picture House, from 7.30pm.
A BMI spokesman said: "The film has been restored in 2K resolution, and the event will include a special post-film question and answer session with Sir Ian McKellen and director Richard Loncraine, live via satellite from BFI Southbank.
"Additionally, the screening will also begin with an exclusive documentary in which both Sir Ian McKellen and director Richard Loncraine reflect on the filmmaking process of Richard III and the continuing significance of Shakespeare in society today."
