| We are delighted to screen David Lean's brilliantly crafted classic British masterpiece from a 35mm film print on Valentine's Day.
The Guardian quotes, 'The Best Romantic Film Of All Time'
'I love you. You love me too. It's no use pretending it hasn't happened, 'cause it has.'
Celia Johnson, Trevor Howard, a station buffet…and one of cinema's greatest romances on the big screen. David Lean and Noël Coward's classic weepie is perfect for a late Valentine's date - or for anyone who wells up when they hear the music of Rachmaninov.
This is going to get emotional. Bring a hankie - or two. |

Robert Wise’s eerie tale, captured using creative filming techniques including distorted Panavision is regarded as one of the best horror films of all time.
While working on West Side Story, director Robert Wise read Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House. He was impressed by how this tale of terror had gripped him, and hoped he might be able to translate some of its most hair-raising passages to the silver screen. He used a 30mm anamorphic, wide-angle lens and Panavision camera which at the time, was technically not yet ready for use. This produced distortions, perfectly capturing the unnerving atmosphere Wise sought to elicit using the expanse of the Panavision process.
The story which centres on a group of people invited to investigate a haunted house is now iconic. Its emphasis on the psychological as well as the supernatural has secured its legacy as the haunted house film against which all others are measured.
We are thrilled to be able to bring this to The Shelley Theatre from an archived 35mm print thanks to BFI and Park Circus. |

It is 1846, and the little town of Lyme Regis is battered by howling winter-gales. Dying and increasingly dependent on laudanum, Mary Anning reflects on her life. By challenging the status quo and making remarkable strides in a male dominated scientific world, her work threatens to disprove the very foundations she was raised on. Haunted by hallucinations of friends, enemies and even the creatures she spent her life hacking out of the living rock, Anning tries to make sense of her existence in her last moments.
A story about memory and coming to terms with the past. Contemporary, multi-media theatre where narrative, physicality, puppetry, techno-soundscape and projected image combine to create storytelling at its most exciting.

Paul Thomas-Anderson's 'BOOGIE NIGHTS' is an epic of the low road, a classic Hollywood story set in the shadows instead of the spotlights but contains the same ingredients: Fame, envy, greed, talent, sex, money. The movie follows a large, colourful and curiously touching cast of characters as they live through a crucial turning point in the adult film industry as it shifts from heady, theatrical artistic film in the 1970s to a quick 'bang for your buck' cheap home video format that emerged in the 1980s. Everything changed.
Featuring an award-winning cast, including Mark Wahlberg, Burt Reynolds, John C. Reilly, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Don Cheadle and William H. Macy.

If you're thinking “Classical music” is not for me, then be prepared for a big surprise. Cello on Fire is an unforgettable musical journey which won the Editor’s Choice Award 2019 at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
What makes this show so special is the burning hot mix of styles, genres and characters. Peter is a cellist whose repertoire ranges from Jimi Hendrix’s Little Wing to gems of the Italian Baroque, shifting in and out of classical, rock, jazz, flamenco, blue-grass and other styles with seamless ease.
There is a wonderful sense of spontaneity and intimacy; it’s like you have stumbled upon someone creating music for the sheer joy of it, audience or no.
Peter Hudler studied at the Conservatory of Vienna and at Mozarteum Salzburg where he finished both Bachelor and Master with honours. He is currently cello professor at the Prayner Conservatory of Vienna.
