Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love and miracles all wonderfully collide in the classic fantasy-adventure The Princess Bride, which celebrates its 30th birthday later this year. Many of Bride’s gags, lines and characters have earned it cult status, and one of its most integral parts was Cary Elwes’ performance as the ever-charming Westley. In 2014, Elwes wrote the New York Times bestseller As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales From the Making of The Princess Bride, his own in-depth recollection of behind-the-scenes happenings and shenanigans, from the grueling rehearsal process for Westley and Inigo Montoya’s iconic sword fight to getting drinks with Andre the Giant. Now Elwes is bringing his tales to audiences across the country in An Inconceivable Evening, which is sure to be a great time for fans both young and old. ZACH GILCHRIEST
