Stephano: The True Story of Shakespeare’s Shipwreck

In this exclusive joint local broadcast and online event, ACMi and Robbins Library host an Arlington-only screening of Stephano: The True Story of Shakespeare’s Shipwreck. Two-time Emmy nominated producer Andrew Buckley and his crew of Hit and Run History are hot on the trail of the Stephen Hopkins, a Virginia-bound castaway who found his way not only onto the decks of the Mayflower a decade later, but immortalized on stage at the drunken Stephano in Shakespeare’s final play, The Tempest.  This Facebook Live event will feature a livestream of the film along with a  Q&A with Buckley hosted by the Robbins Library. This program is supported in part by a grant from the Arlington Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
