THE HOLLOW CROWN: RICHARD III
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 25 @ 7:00PM
Richard, the most notorious of Shakespeare’s kings, manipulates and betrays his way through the court on a bloodthirsty and ruthless path to the throne. But after Richard’s defeat at the battle of Bosworth Field, the Houses of Lancaster and York—the red rose and the white—are united, bringing to an end the Wars of the Roses and long tumultuous period of civil strife.
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23 @ 9:00PM
President Obama was elected by promising hope and change, but during his eight years in the White House, he learned that governing isn’t always easy.
FROM THE RSC
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6 @ 7:00PM & 11:00PM
On the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, GREAT PERFORMANCES presents the RSC’s star-studded gala, with David Tennant, Benedict Cumberbatch, Judi Dench, Joseph Fiennes, John Lithgow, Ian McKellen, Helen Mirren, David Suchet and many more.
SNOW CHICK
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28 @ 7:00PM
During two months of blizzards and frigid temperatures dipping to -80 degrees, each male Emperor penguin who breeds in Antarctica must nurture and protect a single egg that harbors his offspring. But once the eggs hatch by midwinter, these dads are ready to move on to their next stage of parenting. Snow Chick imagines the story of the youngest and last chick of the colony to emerge from his shell and the challenges he encounters growing up in the world’s most extreme nursery.
