TO mark the 400th anniversary of the Bard's death, three major productions from Shakespeare's Globe are coming to Odeon Southend from 10 May, brought to you by Globe on Screen.

The performances filmed at the world's most famous stage promise to "put cinema goers right at the heart of the action".

Measure For Measure will be on May 10 - a wickedly black comedy of sexual politics and identity; The Merchant of Venice will be on June 14 featuring multi Tony and Olivier Award winner Jonathan Pryce and the sumptuous historical masterpiece Richard II on June 28.
