Joining Bernheim is American soprano Erin Morley as Olympia, South African soprano Pretty Yende as Antonia, and French mezzo-soprano Clé mentine Margaine as Giulietta to complete Hoffmann’s trio of lovers. Marco Armiliato conducts Bartlett Sher’s evocative production, which also features American bass-baritone Christian Van Horn as the Four Villains and Russian mezzo-soprano Vasilisa Berzhanskaya in her company debut as Nicklausse.

This live cinema transmission is part of the Met’s award-winning Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe. Please note – the planned dates listed above may be subject to change.

Friday Film Club: The Bikeriders (15)
2024-10-18 19:30
Screening at 7.30pm

Adults £8 / Under 18s £2

Running time: 1 hour 56 mins

UK rating: 15

Friday Film Club opens it’s doors for a new season with Jeff Nichols’ freewheeling account of the rise and fall of a Midwest bike gang, based on a book of images and interviews by Danny Lyon.

After a chance encounter at a local bar, Kathy (Jodie Comer) is inextricably drawn to Benny (Austin Butler), the newest member of motorcycle club The Vandals led by the enigmatic Johnny (Tom Hardy). Like the country around it, the club begins to evolve, transforming from a gathering place for local outsiders into a dangerous underworld of violence, forcing Benny to choose between Kathy and his loyalty to the club.

The outlaw appeal of the motorcycle gang – the machismo, the glinting chrome and the open road – has long held a seductive appeal for filmmakers and audiences alike. Whilst Nichols is clearly enamoured of the closed world he depicts, he also casts a critical eye over the myth of freedom and the emptiness under the grease and denim.

With excellent performances from the leads, The Bikeriders has the hallmarks of a future late-night classic.

Includes a live introduction to set the scene.

Steve Knightley: The Winter Yards Tour
2024-10-30 19:30
Wednesday 30th October

Show starts 7.30pm

Adults £20 / Under 18s £12

Steve Knightley, a highly acclaimed and multi-award-winning singer-songwriter and musician, occupies a prominent position in the English folk/acoustic and roots music scene. As a founding member of the revered Show of Hands, Knightley’s musical journey is deeply intertwined with a profound connection to geographical places, particularly the West Country where he currently resides. His body of work, infused with a profound love of English traditional folk music, the songs of Bob Dylan and the poetry of Ted Hughes, showcases a unique ability to craft compositions that authentically bridge historical narratives with contemporary themes.

Knightley’s commitment to addressing social issues is evident in songs like Country Life and Arrogance, Ignorance & Greed, earning recognition at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. His impact extends beyond accolades, with compositions like The Galway Farmer recognised as a traditional Irish folk song, and Cousin Jack now taught in Cornish schools. In 2014 he began the ground-breaking Grow your Own Gig tour, empowering local communities to host concerts without financial risk.

Plymouth University made Steve an Honorary Doctor of Music and he was also made an Honorary Rifleman by the local 6th Rifles Regiment. Despite pandemic challenges, his creative output remained robust, generating over 100 hours of content.

With more than 4,000 performances and over 50 appearances at Glastonbury, Knightley leaves an enduring impact on audiences worldwide.

Described by Tony Hall as “a showman and craftsman at the peak of his powers”, praised by Mark Radcliffe for writing “some of the best songs in the last 20 years”, and acknowledged by former head of Sony publishing Fran Malyan as “one of my favourite frontmen”, Knightley’s essence is best encapsulated by Robin Denselow of The Guardian as “the gravel-voiced spokesman of the rural poor”.

Hop Tu Naa Horror: The Thing (18)
2024-10-31 19:30
Screening at 7.30pm

Adults £8

Running time: 1 hour 49 mins

UK rating: 18

This year we’re bringing our Hop tu Naa celebrations to a grisly head with a screening of John Carpenter’s classic The Thing, starring Kurt Russell.

A research team finds an alien being that has fallen from the sky and is apparently hunting them down. Things take a sinister turn when they realise that the creature can assume the form of its victims, meaning everyone is under suspicion.

At the peak of his powers, Carpenter orchestrates proceedings masterfully. The menace of the dark polar night and the confines of the base are utilised to ramp up the fear and paranoia to unbearable heights. With a fast-moving story, excellent special effects and a soundtrack by Ennio Morricone, The Thing is a claustrophobic study in what happens to a group when fear reigns supreme.

Who can you trust and for how long? Join us if you dare!

Three Hours by Rosamund Lupton

In rural Somerset in the middle of a blizzard, the unthinkable happens: a school is under siege. Told from the point of view of the people at the heart of it, from the wounded headmaster, to the parents desperate for news, to the 16 year old Syrian refugee trying to rescue his little brother, all experience the most intense hours of their lives, where evil and terror are met by courage, love and redemption.

“I was born of this place, the tiny Celtic nation of the Isle of Man. The land itself sings to and through me. I have tried to capture some of the essence of its ancient magic within these pages and accompanying songs. I hope the Children of The Sea settle into your soul and find a warm welcome there.” – Christine Collister, Dec 2023

The second half of the show will be a stripped-down acoustic performance of songs from across her astonishing 40-year career.

Always an engaging, entertaining, emotional performer this will be a night to remember and cherish.

In February 2021, at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, Emanuil performed a solo recital in Milan’s famous Teatro alla Scala. The concert was live streamed and is a major highlight in his career. In 2022, Emanuili received the honorary Silver medal of the Musicians’ Company, London and later in the same year became a recipient of the prestigious Carnwath Piano Scholarship.

In 2024 he graduated from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, having studied there on a full scholarship under the tutelage of Pascal Nemirovski and Anthony Hewitt.

Winner of the prestigious Busoni Competition 2019, Emanuili Ivanov, continues this season’s Piano Series at EAC with a masterclass and evening recital.

Midweek Movie: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (12A)
2024-11-13 19:30
Screening at 7.30pm

Adults £8 / Under 18s £2

Running time: 1 hour 44 mins

UK rating: 12A

As the long, cold nights draw in it, we’re hanging onto that spooky Hop Tu naa feeling as long as we can. Yes folks, 36 years after the original, Beetlejuice is back! This follow-up to the classic supernatural comedy is a gleefully zany farce packed with knock-out punchlines and great practical effects.

After an unexpected family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River. Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia’s life is turned upside down when her rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid, discovers the mysterious model of the town in the attic and the portal to the Afterlife is accidentally opened. With trouble brewing in both realms, it’s only a matter of time until someone says Beetlejuice’s name three times and the demonic sleazeball returns to unleash his special brand of mayhem.

Beetlejuice was a pivotal picture for director Tim Burton. It established his kooky, gothic blueprint and cemented collaborative relationships, in front of and behind the camera. These old acquaintances (Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Danny Elfman) are all on fine form, whilst Jenna “Wednesday” Ortega is in her element in this delightful return to oddball creepiness.

Say his name three times…we dare you.

Rushen Players: A Christmas Carol
2024-11-14 19:30 - 2024-11-16 19:30
Thursday 14th November / 7.30pm

Friday 15th November / 7.30pm

Saturday 16th November / 2.30pm & 7.30pm

Tickets £12 / Over 65s £10 / Under 18s £5

A Christmas Carol is Charles Dickens’s well-known tale of how the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge learns the importance of generosity towards all mankind and finally embraces the true spirit of Christmas.

His transformation is prompted by the appearance on Christmas Eve of the ghost of his old business partner, Jacob Marley, dragging a chain he forged in life by his greed and lack of charity. Three more ghosts follow, taking Scrooge on a journey through Christmases past, present and future, where Scrooge sees the error of his ways, how he has shunned those who loved him and placed wealth above all things, causing grief for everyone, and in particular the poor family of his employee Bob Cratchitt. He learns his possible fate, and that of Bob’s son, Tiny Tim, and is finally so overcome with grief and remorse that he determines to change his ways. Waking on Christmas morning, he is as good as his word, using his wealth to help the poor and spread cheer, starting with the Cratchitts and Tiny Tim, to whom he becomes a second father. This adaptation is true to the original story, including all its familiar characters and scenes and plenty of traditional carols, to bring a Victorian Christmas to life.

NY Met Opera (live screening): Tosca (Puccini)
2024-11-23 17:55
Adults £15 / Under 18 £2

Puccini’s melodrama about a volatile diva, a sadistic police chief, and an idealistic artist has offended and thrilled audiences for more than a century. Critics have often had issues with the opera’s subject matter, the directness and intensity of its score, and the crowd-pleasing dramatic opportunities it provides for its lead roles. However, these same aspects have made Tosca one of a handful of iconic works that seem to represent opera in the public imagination. Tosca’s popularity is further secured by a superb and exhilarating dramatic sweep, a driving score of abundant melody and theatrical shrewdness, and a career-defining title role.

The score of Tosca is considered a prime example of the style of verismo, an elusive term usually translated as “realism.” The typical musical features of the verismo tradition are prominent in Tosca: short arias with an uninhibited flood of raw melody, ambient sounds that blur the distinctions between life and art, and the use of parlato—words spoken instead of sung—at moments of tension

This live cinema transmission is part of the Met’s award-winning Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.

This stunning, modern production features exclusive, live backstage footage and cast interviews shown during the intervals. Buffet served with interval drinks. Feel free to dress for the occasion!

Due to the terrible weather forecast for Saturday, we have taken the incredibly difficult but necessary decision to cancel (or postpone) our market on Saturday.
