Mark Twain said “never let the truth get in the way of a good story” but how does that apply to period dramas?
Join us for a novel cinematic experience at Verulamium Museum, where Danielle Cavender-Handley light-heartedly eviscerates the historical inaccuracies of a film before we settle down to enjoy it anyway, surrounded by over a thousand years of history.
Our first film will be the epic historical action film “300” featuring a barely-dressed Gerard Butler as King Leonidas of Sparta who leads 300 men into battle against the Persian "God-King" Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and his invading army of more than 300,000 at the Battle of Thermopylae in the Greco-Persian Wars.
