PRESENT
A LIVE READ OF SUNSET BOULEVARD
Guest Directed by marlee matlin
Continuing the exciting return of Film Independent Presents at The Wallis, we will re-stage Billy Wilder’s Sunset Boulevard for the 21st Century in a Live Read that will not only upend how we’ve traditionally enjoyed its memorable characters come to life, but also how we see, hear and experience its quotable script. Guest directed by Oscar® winner Marlee Matlin, with a cast of deaf and hearing actors, this Live Read will be the first to include visual and audible language.
