Ware Center Presents Festival Favorite THE DOUBLE, 6/23 & 26-27
by BWW News Desk - June 23, 2014
Two months ago we ran an enigmatic film called 'Enemy' starring Jake Gyllenhal. Though fascinating, the audience left the theatre scratching their heads 'What was THAT?' Now, a second retelling of the best-selling novel 'The Double' has hit the screens. This one takes a completely different approach to the novel -- it's a comedy-drama, not science fiction; it does not feature any other worldy creatures like giant spiders, and it stars Jesse Eisenberg, an oscar-nominee for 'The Social Network.' If you saw the first one, catch this re-make -- which is virtually entirely different take on the same novel. If you didn't see 'Enemy,' see this one, instead
