We are thrilled to announce our participation in the National Theatre’s ‘Encore’ programme, bringing the best of ‘filmed live’ theatre to the cinema screen.

Tickets are £15.50, doors open at 6pm for a 7pm start, and we’ll be selling cocktails in the bar to bring that West End theatre-land vibe.

Our ‘Greatest Film’ for September is Roman Polanski’s Chinatown, starring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway on Friday 13th September, while the ‘Cult’ film is Kubrick’s bonkers political satire Dr Strangelove featuring multiple Peter Sellers and an explosion or two on Friday 20th. Some of you may have spotted that both are ‘anniversary’ films, 50th and 60th respectively, but as brilliant now as they were upon release.
