‘The Dig’ to open at Cinema Art Theater Jan. 22 

January 20, 2021

The Rehoboth Beach Film Society’s Cinema Art Theater will present “The Dig,” starting Friday, Jan. 22.

Based on a true story, this gripping historical drama reimagines the events of the 1939 excavation of a wooden ship and cemeteries from the Dark Ages.

As World War II looms in England, a wealthy widow (Carey Mulligan) retains the services of an amateur archaeologist (Ralph Fiennes) to excavate the earthen mounds on her estate. When they make an extremely important historical discovery, it attracts the attention of a Cambridge University archaeologist and his colleagues, who seize the site. This amazing find brings echoes of Britain’s past that resonate in the face of its uncertain future.

Screening times are 3 p.m., Friday and Saturday, Jan. 22 and 23; 2 p.m., Sunday, Jan. 24; 2 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 27; and 6 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 28.

Admission is $8 for members and $11 for nonmembers. Customers are encouraged to purchase tickets online at www.rehobothfilm.com. If seats are available, tickets can be purchased at the theater starting 30 minutes prior to each screening.
