'Henry V' Onscreen
England's National Theatre Live is coming to Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor starting Sunday afternoon at 2 with an encore screening of Shakespeare's "Henry V." The production, which was filmed live at London's Donmar Warehouse last April, stars Kit Harrington ("Game of Thrones") in the title role.
One of Shakespeare's most popular histories, the play focuses on the young king's claim to rule France as well as England, and culminates with England's victory in battle. Directed by Max Webster, the contemporary adaptation, performed in modern dress, was called "broodingly impressive" by Time Out magazine.
Tickets are $35.
A Creative Life
Pottery and growing flowers are passions for Frances Palmer, who as a self-taught photographer documents her own floral arrangements in the vessels she creates. A book on her work, "Life in the Studio: Inspiration and Lessons on Creativity," illuminates her ceramic and garden processes as well as her thoughts about living a creative life.
Ms. Palmer will be a guest of the Horticultural Alliance of the Hamptons for a virtual talk, "Life in the Studio," on Sunday at 2 p.m. The talk is free for alliance members, who will receive a Zoom link via email. Nonmember tickets can be purchased for $10 on the alliance website.
Art and Storytelling
Patricia Paladines, who uses photography to share stories about the natural world, and Carl Safina, a professor at Stony Brook University whose writings explore how humans are changing that world, will be at the South Fork Natural History Museum on Saturday afternoon at 1:30 to discuss "Engaging Curiosity Through Art and Storytelling."
The couple, who are married, will discuss how they approach their work in photography and writing to engage the buried sense of curiosity common to everyone.
The talk is $15 for adults and teenagers, free for museum members. Advance registration is required.

Inspired by the popularity of its long-running PechaKucha Night Hamptons series, the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill will launch BizShine, in which local business leaders will tell their stories in five-minute presentations, on Friday at 6 p.m.

Chiffert of Chiffert Architectural Engineering and Construction Services in Southampton, and Sylvia Wong, owner of the Roundtree, a boutique hotel in Amagansett.
