Film Night - The Miracle Club - Doors open 7.00pm

It’s 1967 in Ballygar, a hard-knocks community in Dublin, and Lily (Maggie Smith), Eileen (Kathy Bates) and Dolly (Agnes O’Casey) see their dream of escape come true when they win a pilgrimage to Lourdes, that place of miracles that draws millions of visitors each year.

However, just before their trip, their old friend Chrissie (Laura Linney) arrives in Ballygar for her mother’s funeral, and joins the party. The glamour and sophistication of Chrissie, who has just returned from a nearly 40-year exile in the United States, are not her only distancing traits: old wounds are reopened along the way, forcing the women to confront their pasts even as they travel in search of a miracle. Their shared traumas can only be healed by the curative power of love and friendship.

 The admission fee is £5.00 and there will be a Soft Drinks and Wine Bar.

WADS presents Murder in Play by Simon Brett

Boris Smolensky's budget repertory production of "Murder at Priorswell Manor" is looking decidedly shaky. The cast are more interested in their egos than the play and life imitates art when one of the cast of the play is murdered on stage.

 But who done it?  The philandering director or his mistress, the old-school actor with a drink problem, the warring “mature” actresses – one from film and one from stage – or was it the stage manager fed up with being shouted at? So many to choose from and so many red herrings.  Can you work it out before the final curtain as the cast switch between their character and the character or characters(!), in the play??

 

Tickets are now available at £10 full price and £8 concession:

 By calling 07895 430 616 (please leave a message, including your number, if there is no answer)

Film Night - Oppenheimer - Doors open 6.30 pm

In 1924 young J. Robert Oppenheimer left Cambridge to study the new discipline of quantum physics in Germany: a decision that ultimately led to him running the Manhattan Project, America’s World War II rush to build a functioning atomic bomb. Thirty years later he was tried by a kangaroo court predetermined to confirm suspicions that he was a Communist. In 1958 commerce secretary nominee Lewis Strauss faced a brutal Senate confirmation hearing over his advocacy for the now-disgraced Oppenheimer. Christopher Nolan interweaves these three narratives in his riveting feature, based on the 2005 biography American Prometheus. Starring Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon and Florence Pugh.

 The admission fee is £5.00 and there will be a Soft Drinks and Wine Bar.

There will be a short interval in the middle of the film

Film Night - A Man Called Otto - Doors open 7.00pm

A remake of the fantastic original film adaptation of the novel "A Man Called Ove" by Fredrik Backman (2015 Swedish film "A Man Called Ove" directed by Hannes Holm).

Otto is a grump who's lost his wife, given up on life and wants to end it all. He’s a curmudgeon with staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People think him bitter, and he thinks himself surrounded by idiots.

Otto's well-ordered, solitary world gets a shake-up one snowy morning with the appearance of new neighbours, a chatty young couple and their two daughters, who announce their arrival by accidentally driving over a curb with their U-Haul. What follows is a heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unlikely friendships, and a community's unexpected reassessment of the one person they thought they had figured out.

 The admission fee is £5.00 and there will be a Soft Drinks and Wine Bar.

Film Night - Everything Everywhere All At Once - Doors open 7.00pm

Directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, collectively known as Daniels, the film is a hilarious and big-hearted sci-fi action adventure about an exhausted Chinese American woman (Michelle Yeoh) who can't seem to finish her taxes.

Few things in life are certain besides death, taxes, and maybe the never-ending task that is doing laundry.

In this love letter to genre cinema, Michelle Yeoh gives a virtuoso performance as Evelyn Wang, a weary owner of a laundromat under IRS audit. We first meet her enjoying a happy moment with her husband Waymond (Ke Huy Quan) and their daughter Joy (Stephanie Hsu). We see their smiling faces reflected in a mirror on their living room wall. As the camera literally zooms through the mirror, Evelyn’s smile fades, now seated at a table awash with business receipts. She’s preparing for a meeting with an auditor while simultaneously trying to cook food for a Chinese New Year party that will live up to the high standards of her visiting father Gong Gong (James Hong, wiley as ever). 

 The admission fee is £5.00 and there will be a Soft Drinks and Wine Bar.

Film Night - Mathilda the Musical - Matinee

Matilda Wormwood (Alisha Weir) is a little girl with big curiosity, a sharp mind and a vivid imagination - and the worst parents in the world. While her parents (Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough) content themselves with trashy TV and dodgy money-making schemes, she loves to lose herself in the pages of her beloved books.

Excited to attend Crunchem Hall, Matilda is surprised to find the school is an ominous and oppressive place led by the huge and villainous Miss Trunchbull (Emma Thompson). As well as kind Miss Honey, the bright lights among the meanness are story-loving librarian, Mrs. Phelps (Sindhu Vee), and Matilda's newfound school friends. Filled with an overwhelming sense of justice, Matilda dares to take a stand for what is right and teach Trunchbull a lesson she won't forget.

Directed by Tony Award-winning director Matthew Warchus (Matilda The Musical), the film is produced by Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan for Working Title, Jon Finn (Billy Elliot), and Luke Kelly of The Roald Dahl Story Company. Screenwriter Dennis Kelly adapts the Royal Shakespeare Company's production for the big screen, with original music and lyrics by Tim Minchin.

The admission fee is £5.00 and there will be a Soft Drinks and Wine Bar.

Film Night - Empire of Light - doors open 7 pm

Margate, England, 1980. As widespread unemployment and a rising wave of extremism plunge the seaside town and Margaret Thatcher's Britain into recession, depressed Hilary (Olivia Colman) sticks to her daily routine as the dutiful front-of-house manager at the Empire: a dying, golden-era movie palace. But even movies like All That Jazz (1979) and The Blues Brothers (1980) can't help lonely Hillary keep her inner demons at bay.

And then, bright-eyed new employee Stephen (Micheal Ward) suddenly enters the picture, shaking Hilary's troubled existence. If the celluloid-scented power of cinema can pave the way for meaningful human connection, is there still hope for the once majestic movie theatre?

The admission fee is £5.00 and there will be a Soft Drinks and Wine Bar.
