Actor Cary Elwes will appear at the Tobin Center this Saturday for a behind-the-scenes look at life on and off the set of The Princess Bride, a rare eternal classic for all ages — beguiling and imaginative when you’re a kid, witty and droll when you’re an adult.
Elwes made a splash playing the heroic Westley in the 1987 film. It’s a role he’s never really topped, but what a role!
Known as quite the raconteur, Elwes will participate in a moderated discussion after a showing of The Princess Bride. Expect plenty of fun and wild anecdotes, according to the event’s promoters.
Produced by Rob Reiner, The Princess Bride brought together an astonishing amount of talent that also included Robin Wright, Wallace Shawn, Mandy Patinkin, Peter Falk, Billy Crystal, Carol Kane, Christopher Guest, William Goldman and Andre the Giant.
A limited number of VIP packages are available and include prime seats, a meet-and-greet and a signed copy of Elwes’ best-selling book As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride.
$29.50 and up, 7:30-9:30 p.m. Saturday, March 1, Tobin Center for the Performing Arts, 100 Auditorium Circle, (210) 223-8624, tobincenter.org.
