Steve Hayes: Tired Old Queen at the Movies, presenting Adam's Rib

For “EAG: Movie Night”, “STEVE HAYES: Tired Old Queen at the Movies” will present the zany comedy;  Adam’s Rib (1949), directed by Oscar winner George Cukor, featuring an Oscar nominated script by Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin and starring multiple Oscar winners Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn and Judy Holliday. The plot revolves around a married couple, both lawyers, who find themselves at odds fighting the same case of a woman, Holliday, accused of attempting to shoot her husband. The battle of the sexes is played to hilarious results with both actors at the top of their game and newcomer Holliday stealing every scene she’s in. It’s also blessed with a supporting cast of such brilliant comedic actors including Tom Ewell, David Wayne, Jean Hagan and Hope Emerson. Introduced and with a wine & cheese talk back afterwards by award winning comedian and movie buff, Steve Hayes, it’ll be an evening if hilarity you won’t want to miss! All proceeds benefit The Episcopal Actor’s Guild.
