Spring

After a long battle we have managed to persuade The National Theatre to allow us to bring their live screenings to Ledbury. These start early next year with Coriolanus and their much celebrated War Horse. There are also live satellite transmissions from The Royal Opera House and The Royal Shakespeare Company. We are very pleased to welcome the Sitara Restaurant as the sponsor of our live screening programme.

We must never forget our live shows though: they are the life blood of the Theatre. Highlights include the evening with John Challis, star of Only Fools and Horses, and The Fetch Theatre Company’s show - suitable for all ages - about the Mappa Mundi, called “The Cloth of the World”.

We have a great variety of music, drama and other live entertainment to offer you. Drama includes “David Copperfield” from the brilliant Hotbuckle Theatre Company, Arthur Miller’s “Two Way Mirror” from Red Rope Theatre

Company; and from LADS, the Theatre’s resident company, Ronald Harwood’s “Equally Divided”. Then there is the music; and what a variety! Rock and Roll with The Fabulous Boogie Boys; à capella from Men in General, classics from The CBSO Cellos, Knoxville Highway Country Music Show, Worcester Gilbert and Sullivan, a Neil Diamond tribute, and music of the Sixties from the Community Choir. Another big highlight will be the jazz group Minima’s live backing to the 1925 silent film, Phantom of the Opera.

And then there are the films, which include five great movies as part of The Borderlines Film Festival (you can get a ‘Ledbury only’ season ticket – see page 16). The Ledbury Film Club (to join see page 14) also has a really interesting selection this season; and then there is our range of films with evening and morning showing times. All films of course are shown on our hi-tech kit with HD Projection and Dolby Sound and on our Big Screen. All our films are open to the public.

Enjoy an intimate evening with John Challis, one of the nation's greatest comedy actors, best known as Boycie in BBC1's Only Fools and Horses. In this one-off show the national treasure will reveal secrets from the set, with stories and anecdotes from his dazzling career.Having worked with some of the biggest names in show business, he'll be spilling the beans about Only Fools and Horses co-stars like Sir David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst and friends and fellow performers like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Oliver Reed and George Best. He’ll also recall tales from his time in Dr Who, Coronation Street and other TV classics. The show will also celebrate the launch of the second volume of John’s autobiography, Being Boycie, and he will sign copies after the show.

Welcoming back, the sensational rock & roll act The Fabulous Boogie Boys.

From great rock and roll favourites to New York basement style blues, this evening will go with a bang! With their bright red zoot suits and period instruments, this seven piece outfit really looks the part and has received rave reviews wherever they appear. A thumping back beat drum behind a bull fiddle bass, sabre toothed guitar washed over enveloping stride piano, honkin’ tenor sax, swashbucklin’ with salt and pepper vocals: what more could you need? Well how about a dash of panache, glamour and spice, all in killer heels? Sarah Warren is fast becoming a legend in the UK, with her powerhouse vocals and bluesy style, she compliments the band perfectly.

The CBSO Cello Ensemble was set up by members of the CBSO Cello Section to enjoy the gorgeous sound of the instrument that, combined in a group, has the full range of sounds and notes of any orchestra. Led by cellist David Russell's brilliant arrangements, their repertoire spans Vivaldi to Dave Brubeck, including opera and cello standards along the way.

Recent performances include CBSO Centre Stage, Four Squares Festival in Birmingham and a special Notelets Concert for the under 5s, which saw six players perform Bolero on one cello!

Aboard HMS Pinafore things have changed. Unsuspecting passengers believe it is now a luxury cruise ship! During their eventful voyage the ship is boarded by Pirates, and, during the ensuing battle, runs aground on Utopia, where castaways from Mikado and Gondoliers have previously been stranded. Share in their adventures as these familiar characters endeavour to make their way back home. This is a brand new, fully costumed & choreographed, fun-filled show, from Worcester Gilbert & Sullivan Society, suitable for the whole family, with appearances from well known characters and songs, but not as you know them!

A Country Music Show featuring classic songs authentically reproduced by an outstanding Country Music band. With the great Nashville sound, plus elements of Bluegrass and Tex-Mex, the show is a brilliantly entertaining journey through Country Music.

Featuring the music of Johnny Cash and Hank Williams right through to The Eagles and Modern country artists. A great night for listeners and those who want to sing along.

Red Rope bring you Arthur Miller's intimate two-hander consisting of 2 short plays said be inspired by Miller's relationship to Marilyn Monroe and said by Miller to be ''passionate voyages through the masks of illusion to an ultimate reality''. Elergy for a lady is the moving encounter between a customer, trying to buy a gift for his dying mistress, and the proprietress who curiously takes on the characteristics of the mistress. In contrast Some Kind of Love Story is an almost tongue in cheek pastiche of film noir and deals with a private investigator and his relationship with a prostitute who may hold the secret to his case - a compelling study of two people destined by their mutual dependence to tear one another apart. "An excellent, powerful play " The Guardian.

THE NEIL DIAMOND STORY

Thursday 8pm // £12.00

19th June

Playwright Sir Ronald Harwood is best known for his breakthrough play The Dresser and more recently the screenplay of the highly acclaimed film Quartet. This play too features his trademark gentle humour. For the past 15 years Edith, a dowdy fiftyish spinster, has cared for her invalid mother in a ramshackle seaside home. Typically she has sacrificed her own chance of happiness, love and a career to be the stay-at-home carer, and she is bristling with resentment and jealousy. For no matter what she does the old battle-axe, who has a penchant for collecting antiques, favours Renata, the glamorous other daughter.

Now the old girl has gone and Renata and Edith discover that the estate, such as it is, is being equally divided – a bitter blow to Edith who has no savings and was relying on the will to carry her through her old age.

Stranded without her gold card, stripped of her lavish properties and shunned by her monied friends following the arrest of her embezzler husband, Jasmine (Cate Blanchett) finds herself living with her estranged sister in a low rent apartment. Numb, disconnected, and struggling to deal with the reality of her situation, she relives the events that brought her back to her long forgotten roots. Brilliantly written, funny, tragic, and very human, this is a must-see from Woody Allen, the master of emotional dysfunction.

A chance meeting draws the pair together, and drifting through the museum’s stately halls and the opulent streets of Vienna, their connection intensifies.

The incendiary anti-Modernist Alfred Munnings, now regarded as one of Britain's most sought-after artists, is at the centre of a complex love triangle. A beautiful film, beautifully made.

HANNAH ARENDT PHILOMENA

Political theorist Hannah Arendt was hailed as one of the century’s greatest thinkers. A German Jew, she escaped to the US during WWII and in 1961 covered as a journalist the trial of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichman. But the published report on ‘the banality of evil’ caused a storm of controversy and prompted death threats from the Jewish community. Focusing on Arendt during the Eichman trial, writer-director Von Trotta’s, pacy biopic celebrates a passionate woman who was always true to her beliefs, no matter the cost.

STORIES WE TELL RUSH

12th March

Director Sarah Polley reflects on a personal story, as she documents her own family in a film that starts out as a portrait of her late mother, and widens to include the way other people’s narratives define our lives and question the ultimate knowability of anyone. The ‘storytellers’, use her father, siblings and figures from her mother’s past, to build up a picture of a woman, that is both compelling and occasionally contradictory. A film that will stay with you for a long time.

As Niki Lauda cooly states, in this exhilarating exploration of the rivalry between racing supremos Lauda and James Hunt, every Formula 1 race carries a 20% chance of death. Straight laced and perfectionist, Lauda is the polar opposite of Hunt, the popular British playboy; but both give all to a profession where every race could be their last. Masterfully shot, beautifully cinematic and suitably high octane, the title says it all.

ALAN PARTRIDGE: ALPHA PAPA

Alan Partridge (Steve Coogan), makes his first screen appearance in this very British heist comedy. Back presenting Mid Morning Matters at North Norfolk Digital, Alan gets wind of possible redundancies (which include himself in the firing line) and so frames Pat, the late night DJ, for the fall. But Pat is slightly unhinged and Alan’s Machiavellian tactics see all those at the radio station under threat when Pat takes the employees hostage.

WADJDA ROBOT AND FRANK

The first film to be made in Saudi Arabia, about a 10 year old girl from (of course) a fiercely conservative background who longs for a bicycle, something normally reserved for boys. So Wadjda decides to try and raise the money herself. At first, her mother is too preoccupied with convincing her husband not to take a second wife to realize what's going on. But soon enough Wadjda's plans are thwarted when she is caught running various schemes at school. A quite wonderful film that everyone should see and enjoy.

Set in the near future, Frank is a retired jewel-thief living alone while his successful son, Hunter, tries to care for him from afar. Finally, Hunter gets him a robot caretaker, but Frank soon learns that it is as useful as a burglary aide…. In other words this is about oldies coping with new technology! At times very funny, always charming but also (like all great comedy, think of ‘Hancock’) with tragedy just below the surface.

25th April

23rd MayFriday 8pm //100mins // (UK 15/1957)

The true story of Paul Potts, a shy, bullied shop assistant by day and an amateur opera singer by night who became a phenomenon after being chosen for -- and ultimately winning -- "Britain's Got Talent".

An elderly couple visit their children in Tokyo and are confronted by indifference, ingratitude and selfish-ness. When the parents are packed off to a resort by their impatient children, the film deepens into an unbearably moving meditation on mortality. Some shots (a child picking flowers, an old couple framed by the sea, a woman sitting forlornly at her work desk) are enough to give a sensitive film-goer the shivers. Consistently voted in top five in BFI film critics’ poll.

A LATE QUARTET

After a classical string quartet's 25 years of success, Peter, the cellist and oldest member, decides that he must retire due to Parkinson's Disease. For the others, this announcement proves a catalyst for letting their hidden resentments come to the surface while the married members' daughter has disruptive desires of her own. All this threatens to tear the group apart. Structured around Beethoven's String Quartet No. 14, opus 131, the film pays homage to chamber music and the cultural world of New York.
