The Guthrie Theater has announced its lineup for the Christopher Hampton festival next fall.

"Tales of Hollywood" and "Total Eclipse" will join the previously announced "Appomattox." In addition three films for which Hampton wrote screenplays will be shown as part of the celebration.

"Appomattox" is a Guthrie commission, although it is largely based on Hampton's libretto of an opera he created with composer Philip Glass in 2007. It is set both in the final week of the American Civil War and 100 years later, during the civil rights movement of the 1960's. The new work will be produced on the Guthrie proscenium.

"Tales from Hollywood" is targeted for the thrust stage. It is Hampton's 1982 play about German writers fleeing World War II and finding work in Hollywood studios during World War II. Thomas and Heinrich Mann, Nelly Mann and Bertolt Brecht are principal characters in a withering look at America's movie capital.

"Total Eclipse" depicts the relationship between Arthur Rimbaud and his mentor, Paul Verlaine. Hampton adapted the play for a 1995 film with Leonardo DiCaprio and David Thewlis. The Guthrie production will be in the upstairs studio theater.

The films announced by the Guthrie are "Carrington," about painter Dora Carrington and author Lytton Strachey; "Atonement," the 2007 film starring Keira Knightley and James McAvoy that adapted Ian McEwan's novel about lives altered by a lie told in World War II; and "Dangerous Liaisons" with Glenn Close and John Malkovich.
