Fri 14 Nov 15:15

1973’s Theatre of Blood is the deliciously twisted tale of deluded Shakespearean actor, Edward Kendall Sheridan Lionheart, played by veteran horror icon Vincent Price, seeking gory revenge on the critics who refused to recognise his theatrical accomplishments. Featuring a Who’s Who of British thespians, it provided Price with a chance to showcase his many talents.

Join Victoria Price, Peter Fuller (curator of the Vincent Price Legacy UK), and author and critic (!) John Llewellyn Probert for this unique live commentary as they delve into the British black comedy horror’s production, cultural legacy and behind-the-scenes stories.
