The Princess Bride

Celebrating the life of esteemed author, screenwriter, and playwright William Goldman, the Avalon presents a special screening of one of his most beloved works, THE PRINCESS BRIDE. The Academy Award-winning Goldman left behind a legacy of quotable lines and memorable characters when he passed away in November. Among his many credits: ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN; BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID; and of course, THE PRINCESS BRIDE. Join us for this special presentation of one of cinema’s most magical storybook fantasies, as we bring the wit and romance of this classic adventure to our historic theatre.

The film begins with a grandfather reading his favorite book “The Princess Bride” to his hard-to-impress grandson. This book, he promises, has everything – “Fencing. Fighting. Torture. Revenge. Giants. Monsters. Chases. Escapes. True love. Miracles.” – and all that he promised comes to life before the boy’s enchanted eyes as his grandfather reads him the adventures of Buttercup and Westley.

From director Rob Reiner; starring Cary Elwes and Robin Wright; and featuring Andre the Giant, Wallace Shawn, Billy Crystal and many more, see this classic film once more on the big screen.
