Redmond's movie theater will be one of about 200 cinemas around the country to screen the London Globe Theatre’s critically acclaimed production of "The Merry Wives of Windsor" at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, June 27. Tickets are $15.

The stage-to-cinema presentation of Shakespeare's 17th-century comedy is part of NCM Fathom, Globe Theatre and Arts Alliance Media’s Shakespeare’s Globe London Cinema Series, a four-part series of classic Shakespeare titles in U.S. movie theaters nationwide this summer and fall.  

Each performance includes a 20-minute behind the scenes feature that provides insights into the working of the Globe today and a study of each production. Tickets for the series are available at participating theater box offices and online at www.FathomEvents.com.
