The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community presents the winner of nine Academy Awards, “The English Patient,” at the Theatre on Gay Street May 16 at 8 p.m. Director Anthony Minghella’s adaption of Michael Ondaatje’s Booker Prize-winning novel is an epic romance that spans seven years and two continents to weave a tale of love, betrayal and forgiveness.

In the North African desert in World War II, an unidentified survivor of a plane crash (Ralph Fiennes) has been found by Bedouins. Badly burned, he has no memory of his past. Believing him to be English, the Bedouins turn him over to the Allies, and he is taken by medical convoy to Italy. His condition considered hopeless, he is left to die in an abandoned Tuscan monastery.
