Phantom Thread at Jane Pickens Theatre 

Set in the glamour of 1950’s post-war London, renowned dressmaker Reynolds Woodcock (Daniel Day-Lewis) and his sister Cyril (Lesley Manville) are at the center of British fashion, dressing royalty, movie stars, heiresses, socialites, debutantes and dames with the distinct style of The House of Woodcock.

Women come and go through Woodcock’s life, providing the confirmed bachelor with inspiration and companionship, until he comes across a young, strong-willed woman, Alma (Vicky Krieps), who soon becomes a fixture in his life as his muse and lover.

Once controlled and planned, he finds his carefully tailored life disrupted by love.

Domestic Affairs: Domesticity, Identity, And The Home at Newport Art Museum

This exhibition showcases the work of contemporary artists exploring issues of domesticity and identity. 

These artists examine domesticity in different ways. Some examine the home as a social space and challenge “traditional” domestic roles for women while others explore the home as a symbol of family, culture, inheritance, or consumerism. Whereas some of the artists take a satirical or humorous approach to domesticity, others take a sentimental or nostalgic approach, imbuing their works of art with a sense of longing.

The exhibit is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
