Sun 1st 2pm Royal Ballet Screening - “The Cellist/Dances at a Gathering Tickets £13/£8 World Premieres” Cathy Marston has previously been an Associate Artist of the Royal Opera House and Director of Bern Ballett, and is much in demand internationally. The inspiration for her first work for The Royal Ballet Main Stage is the momentous life and career of the cellist Jacqueline du Pré. Jerome Robbins’s elegant and elegiac classic forms the second part of the programme. This exercise in pure dance for five couples, set to music by Chopin, is a masterpiece of subtlety and invention. Cinema encore via Satellite Sunday 1 March 2020 Approximate running time: 2 hours 30 minutes, including one interval

Thurs 5th 7pm NT Live Screening - “Cyrano de Bergerac” Tickets £12/£8 We will be Screening live from London’s West End Cyrano de Bergerac, starring James McAvoy (X-Men, Atonement) in the title role. This inventive new adaptation by Martin Crimp tells the story our hero. Fierce with a pen and notorious in combat, Cyrano almost has it all – if only he could win the heart of his true love Roxane. There’s just one big problem: he has a nose as huge as his heart. Will a society engulfed by narcissism get the better of Cyrano – or can his mastery of language set Roxane’s world alight? Edmond Rostand’s masterwork is adapted by Martin Crimp, with direction by Jamie Lloyd (Betrayal). This classic play will be brought to life with linguistic ingenuity to celebrate Cyrano’s powerful and resonant resistance against overwhelming odds.

Fri 6th 6pm Film - “Frozen 2” Tickets £6/£4 ****”More mature, ambitious and intricate than its hit predecessor” The Independent Elsa the Snow Queen has an extraordinary gift — the power to create ice and snow. But no matter how happy she is to be surrounded by the people of Arendelle, Elsa finds herself strangely unsettled. Why was Elsa born with magical powers? The answer is calling her and threatening her kingdom. After hearing a mysterious voice call out to her, Elsa travels to the enchanted forests and dark seas beyond her kingdom with Anna, Kristoff, Olaf and Sven, she’ll set out on a dangerous but remarkable journey. In Frozen, Elsa feared her powers were too much for the world. In Frozen 2, she must hope they are enough. — an adventure that soon turns into a journey of self-discovery. **** Rotten Tomatoes 7.2 IMDB SpArC Theatre Events - March 2020 Tickets 01588 630321/638038 www.sparctheatre.co.uk Thurs 12th 7pm Film Fundraiser- “Moliere” (12A) Tickets £6/£4 Raising Funds for Bishop’s Castle Twinning Association A lively comedy set in 17th-century France, Imprisoned for debt, playwright Molière is rescued by an aristocrat who needs his help in order to seduce a young marquise.

A gut wrenching story of a hard working family, fighting an uphill struggle trying to meet the unfair demands of their zero hour contract jobs. Ricky and his family have been fighting an uphill struggle against debt since the 2008 financial crash. An opportunity to wrestle back some independence appears with a shiny new van and the chance to run a franchise as a self-employed delivery driver. It’s hard work, and his wife’s job as a carer is no easier. The family unit is strong but when both are pulled in different directions everything comes to breaking point.

Sun 22nd 2pm ROH Screening - “Fidelio” (Beethoven) Cinema encore Tickets £13/£8 Beethoven’s only opera is a masterpiece, an uplifting story of risk and triumph. In this new production, conducted by Antonio Pappano, Jonas Kaufmann plays the political prisoner Florestan, and Lise Davidsen his wife Leonore (disguised as ‘Fidelio’) who daringly sets out to rescue him. Set in strong counterpoint are the ingredients of domestic intrigue, determined love and the cruelty of an oppressive regime. The music is transcendent throughout and includes the famous Act I Quartet, the Prisoners’ Chorus and Florestan’s impassioned Act II cry in the darkness and vision of hope. Tobias Kratzer’s new staging brings together the dark reality of the French Revolutionary ‘Terror’ and our own time to illuminate Fidelio’s inspiring message of shared humanity. Sung in German with English subtitles Approximate running time: about 2 hours 30 minute

Retaining the iconic elements of the original staging loved by millions around the world, Matthew Bourne and award-winning designers Lez Brotherston (Set & Costumes) and Paule Constable (Lighting) have created a ‘spellbinding’(***** Independent) re-imagining of this classic New Adventures production. Filmed live at Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake stars Will Bozier as The Swan/The Stranger ,Liam Mower as The Prince and Nicole Kabera as The Queen. Collecting over thirty international accolades including an Olivier Award and three Tonys on Broadway, Matthew Bourne’s powerful interpretation of Tchaikovsky’s beloved tale is ‘still original, still unmissable’ (***** Metro),a passionate and contemporary Swan Lake for our times.
