Centenary Screening: Sweet
Smell of Success Presented
by Radio 4’s Francine Stock
// 3 Apr
The Counterfeit Stones // 7 Apr
The Counterfeit Stones celebrate their
25th anniversary in 2016 with yet another
“Sham Rock” experience. Their skilfullymixed cocktail of classic hits, retro costume
and humour continues to intoxicate young
and old alike - 100% proof that a good
shot always hits the target. This faking
masterpiece, hilariously “mockumenting” the history of the Rolling
Stones from 1962, will take you back if you were there; or make you
wish you were, if you weren’t. Why pay a fortune to see originals as
ants in a megadome, when for a fraction of the price you can smell
the sweat of bogus brilliance?
Francine Stock is the presenter
of Radio 4’s Film Programme.
Francine has chosen her favourite
film, Alexander Mackendrick’s
seminal tale Sweet Smell of
Success (1957, starring Burt
Lancaster and Tony Curtis). She
will introduce the film and lead a
discussion after the screening. Is it one of the best noir crime thrillers
ever made?

Dogs Don’t Do Ballet // 8-9 Apr
Biff is a dog, but he’s not your usual kind
of dog. Instead of chasing sticks and
fetching newspapers, Biff loves tutus,
tiaras and ballet! Watch as Biff sneaks
into the class of the fearsome ballet
teacher, Miss Polly, practises pirouettes
in the park and finally gets to go the
ballet. Featuring music from Fauré,
Elgar and Tchaikovsky, this ballet is an
ideal introduction for young children to
classical music. Join Ballet Black for
their first family ballet, based on the best-selling book by Anna Kemp
and choreographed by Christopher Marney. It’s full of fun, magic and
one very special dog! Suitable for the whole family.
4pm (8 April), 11am & 2pm (9 April). Price: £12
