Pompeii: Sin City

Prior to purchasing tickets please review our COVID-19 Safety Measures and Policies.
Purchasing tickets in advance is STRONGLY encouraged. Due to distanced seating in the theatre, capacity is limited and walk-ups might not be able to be accommodated.

An exploration of Pompeii, a city cloaked in mystery and depicted through images and words by the great artists and writers who experienced and imagined it over the course of history: from Pliny the Younger to Picasso, from Emily Dickinson to Jean Cocteau.  Famously known for the catastrophic volcanic eruption which buried Pompeii along with its inhabitants over 2000 years ago, Pompeii: Sin City hosted by Isabella Rossellini offers audiences an extraordinary snapshot of Roman life, frozen at the moment of burial, showing how its citizens lived their lives, spent their free time, experienced pleasure, passion, religion and ultimately, their fate.

Runtime: 90 mins approx.
