Catch-up Screenings: Allelujah (12A)

Based on the play by Alan Bennett, Allelujah is a warm and deeply moving story about old age. When the geriatric ward in a small Yorkshire hospital is threatened with closure, the hospital decides to fight back by galvanizing the local community: they invite a news crew to film their preparations for a concert in honour of the hospital’s most distinguished nurse. What could go wrong?

Allelujah celebrates the spirit of the elderly patients whilst paying tribute to the deep humanity of the medical staff battling with limited resources and ever-growing demand.

Reminisce with REVIVAL

Revival is a well-known rock band from Nottingham who celebrate pop music from an era many of us will always hold close to our hearts; memorable tunes ranging from the late fifties to the early seventies (with a few more well-known melodies thrown in for good measure).

The seven piece band was formed in 1990 and quickly discovered their musical tastes were shared by many other people of a certain age! So much so, the chaps quickly found themselves in demand to play an increasing number of concerts and shows all over the country.

Probably the most prestigious venues played by Revival include The London Guildhall (the week after The Queen Mother celebrated her 100th. birthday there) Wollaton Park, Nottingham Albert Hall and The Nottingham Concert Hall. The band was also pleased to appear on BBC TV for “Children in Need” in 2006, and got a mention on
Radio 2 from Wogan the same year.

Over the years, Revival has reduced in size to six members, three of which were replaced after leaving the band for health and personal reasons.

We were all very sad this year when Bryan, our original bass player, passed after a long illness. He will be remembered fondly by us all for his unique bass playing and his strong sense of humour.

National Theatre Live: Fleabag (15)

Written and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Killing Eve) and directed by Vicky Jones, Fleabag is a rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life. Following a box-office record-breaking run in cinemas in 2019, the one-woman show returns to cinemas to the big screen this summer.
Fleabag may seem oversexed, emotionally unfiltered and self-obsessed, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. With family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig café struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose.
The hilarious, award-winning play that inspired the BBC’s hit TV series Fleabag, was filmed live on stage in London’s West End in 2019.

‘Witty, filthy and supreme.’ ★★★★★ Guardian

Presented by DryWrite, Soho Theatre and Annapurna Theatre.
