With help of the fire demon Calcifer and Howl's other magical companions, Sophie sets off to find a way to reverse the witch's spell and return to her former self—visiting other worlds and dimensions along the way.

Hamlet

Paramount Center
Paramount Center Mainstage
See artsemerson.org for ticket pricing information

 ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents Hamlet. From Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London, a handful of players perform this timeless classic. Hamlet explores political intrigue and sexual obsession, philosophical reflection ("to be, or not to be…") and violent action, tragic depth and wild humor. Capturing the youthful and less jaded aspects of Hamlet's personality rarely seen in more traditional interpretations, in just two and a half hours, this production embraces the theatre of Shakespeare's day. Actors play multiple characters and live music, infusing the performance with a lively energy. Humorous and boisterous, the Globe Company packs an emotional wallop with their inherent theatricality.

Paramount Center
Bright Family Screening Room
Public: $10, Members/Seniors: $7.50, Students: $5

ArtsEmerson: The World on Stage presents Ghost World. In one of the smartest adaptations of a comic book ever brought to screen, best friends Enid (Thora Birch) and Rebecca (Scarlett Johansson) search for what to do with themselves the summer after high school graduation. As Enid and Rebecca search for their grown-up identities, they begin to drift apart and into other, more complicated relationships. Directed by Terry Zwigoff with a screenplay by Daniel Clowes based on his comic book of the same name, the film reveals the agonies of adolescent uncertainty and the changing nature of friendship without ever patronizing its young subjects.
