The Letter (1940) "...With all my heart I still love the man I killed!" Director - William Wyler Cast - Bette Davis, Herbert Marshall, James Stephenson, Gale Sondergaard, Willie Fung. Davis gives a powerhouse performance as the adultress who empties a gun into her lover, claiming self defence. With a perfect cast of supporting players, particularly Stephenson as the compromised lawyer, this film is expert cinematic theatre. You'll also experience one of Max Steiner's most atmospheric scores matching the stunning use of shadow. This film, from what was probably the Hollywood studio system's peak year, is a fine example of the slickness and polish that was achieved by this "studio system".

Zeitgeist is a retrospective of Zen Zen Zo’s Butoh inspired dance-theatre works since 2000. Drawing from the critically acclaimed productions Unleashed, Those with Lucifer, and most recently Zen Zen Zo’s international collaborations with American band The Dresden Dolls, Zeitgeist is a collection of raw and provocative pieces that reflect “the spirit (Geist) of our times (Zeit)”. This groundbreaking work asks the question, how do we as human beings meet ourselves, each other, and the earth at the turn of the new Millennium? The answer is at times heart-breaking, at others humorous, but ultimately hopeful, as the dancers weave together physical theatre, poetic ritual, burlesque, camp, and comedy in Zen Zen Zo’s hallmark style.
