Coolidge Corner Stage & Screen: Summertime
Tuesday, May 6th, 2025 at 7:00 pm at the Coolidge Corner Theatre
Featuring a post-screening discussion with guests of the Huntington’s production of The Light in the Piazza.
With this sublimely bittersweet tale of romantic longing, director David Lean left behind the British soundstage to capture the sun-splashed glory of Venice at the height of summer in radiant Technicolor. In a tour de force of fearless vulnerability, Katharine Hepburn portrays the conflicting emotions that stir the heart of a lonely, middle-aged American tourist who is forced to confront her insecurities when she is drawn into a seemingly impossible affair with a charming Italian shopkeeper (Rossano Brazzi) amid the ancient city’s canals and piazzas. Lean’s personal favorite among his own films, Summertime is an exquisitely tender evocation of the magic and melancholy of a fleeting, not-quite-fairy-tale romance.
This screening coincides with our production of The Light in the Piazza, running May 8 through June 15 at The Huntington Theatre.
From book writer Craig Lucas:
“I am super happy to be returning to The Huntington where I performed as a student at Boston University in the 1970s, where I have attended countless memorable productions, and where I directed my play I Was Most Alive With You in 2016.”
From Artistic Director Loretta Greco:
“This mother-daughter love story absolutely wrecked me when I experienced the premiere 20 years ago. Adam Guettel and Craig Lucas have crafted a stunning ode to the power of love in its many, many complicated guises.”
