The Post Office Scandal - with Nick Wallis - 27/04/2024 07:30 PM

This is the true story of how hundreds of innocent people fought to clear their names after being pursued by the Post Office through the criminal courts.

Proud pillars of their communities were stripped of their jobs and livelihoods. Many were forced into bankruptcy or borrowed from friends and family to give the Post Office thousands they did not owe. The really unlucky ones were sent to prison.

Join us as Nick masterfully takes us through the shambolic commissioning of the disastrous Post Office Horizon IT system and examines the punitive methods employed by the Post Office – bypassing the police and the Crown Prosecution Service – to create the most widespread miscarriage of justice in UK legal history. Nick will then narrow in on the subsequent heinous cover-up and the staggering legal battles fought and won by campaigning Subpostmasters, against all the odds. 

Journalist/broadcaster Nick Wallis (BBC Radio 4’s ‘The Great Post Office Trial’, current TalkTV host, Private Eye’s ‘Justice Lost in the Post’, BBC1’s Panorama ‘Scandal at the Post Office’, The One Show and Channel 5’s ‘Criminals Caught on Camera’) has drawn on fourteen years of covering the story to write a best-selling book (‘The Great Post Office Scandal’ – serialised by the Daily Mail and featured by the Sunday Times), and it is this book and this experience which forms the basis of this new in-depth event.
Nick will be talking about his time meeting with the Sub Postmasters, collating evidence and testimony from top secret sources within both Fujitsu and The Post Office and also reading from his best-selling book, followed by a Q&A session, giving the audience an opportunity to explore areas in more detail.

There will also be a special guest or two affected by the scandal who will join Nick on stage to answer questions and provide first-hand testimony.

Special guests Tony Downey and his daughter Katie Downey (link https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/ive-lost-everything-post-office-31821961)

The Metamorphosis - 03/05/2024 07:30 PM

The Metamorphosis is a new adaptation of Franz Kafka’s classic tale of isolation and alienation.

In this fresh interpretation, we bring Kafka's timeless tale into the modern world, meticulously exploring the areas of contemporary life that mirror the challenges faced by Gregor Samsa. With a renewed focus on mental health, social activism, and the search for identity, our adaptation fearlessly confronts the pressing issues of our time.

By delving into Gregor Samsa's transformation through a lens of mental health, we invite audiences to reflect on their own struggles and triumphs. The production sheds light on the impact of societal pressures, alienation, and personal identity, facilitating important conversations about mental well-being and the complexities of the human psyche.

The Arts Society Bishop's Stortford - 14/05/2024 07:30 PM

Lecture - The Housekeeper’s Tale: The Women who really ran the English Country House - Tessa Boase
The Housekeeper’s Tale 

The most senior of upper servants, the housekeeper carried a family’s secrets with her to the grave. She ran the English country house, controlled its female servants and conserved its many treasures – and yet has not been remembered history. Using old letters, secret diaries and neglected archives, Tessa has resurrected a series of fascinating stories from 19th and 20th century domestic service. We’ll be looking at this changing key role, from the formalities of the Victorian era to the power shift of the 20th-century, hastened by two world wars. 

Mrs Wells of Uppark, Mrs Mackenzie of Wrest Park, and Mrs Higgins of Charleston were working at times of great social change. Each housekeeper responded very differently to the challenges she faced. 

Lectures start at 10.40 am and coffee/tea is served from 10.00 am - Suggested donation: £7

Part of our International Film Festival, taking place over Tues 21st May and Weds 22nd May.

'Cinema tends to be fascinated by the high-stakes drama and intensity of new love or the brutal evisceration of its final moments. Far fewer films explore the comfortable familiarity of a love that has endured and deepened over decades. Vanishingly rare are pictures that capture this kind of relationship so satisfyingly.' - The Guardian ★★★★

'Jonathan Glazer’s unforgettable Auschwitz drama is a brutal masterpiece. Only the constant pall of smoke, and a dread-inducing soundscape, tell of the horrors beyond the wall as the idyllic life of the commandant of the death camp and his family rolls by in Glazer’s Oscar-nominated film.' - The Guardian ★★★★★

'A hellish, daring spin on more traditional Holocaust movies' - Independent ★★★★★

The story of Ludvig Kahlen who pursued his lifelong dream: To make the heath bring him wealth and honor.


Part of our International Film Festival, taking place over Tues 21st May and Weds 22nd May.

'The bleak terrain of Jutland is the setting for an 18th-century battle over crops and land in Nikolaj Arcel’s rollicking true-life drama' - The Observer ★★★★

"The Promised Land" is about ten movies in one. It's a history lesson with a central figure driven by an impossible quest. There are bands of outlaws, sadistic aristocrats, and downtrodden peasants. There's a little romance, a lot of torture, as well as a feisty runaway child. Historical epics like this really aren't made anymore. - Roger Ebert.com

'I cared about these people. They seemed real. "The Promised Land" is so successful at what it attempts to do I felt exhilarated when the first fragile seedling popped up above the earth. It's a reminder that a film needs to get the big things right—events and conflicts and obstacles—but it needs to get the small things right too.' - Roger Ebert.com

Celebration of Father Ted with Joe Rooney - 07/06/2024 07:00 PM

Join us in celebrating one of the greatest sitcoms ever made, as we welcome renowned stand-up Joe Rooney for a night of all things Father Ted!

Joe featured as the rebellious Father Damo in the classic Father Ted episode The Old Grey Whistle Theft, leading Dougal astray with his earring, cigarette smoking and bad-boy attitude.

Joe will host a screening of the episode, take you behind the scenes and set you a Craggy Island quiz ­– then prepare yourself for an all-inclusive ‘Lovely Girls Competition’: have you got the loveliest laugh, the loveliest walk, and can you make the loveliest sandwich?

There will also be a dancing priests competition, plus appearances from a nursery-rhyme singing Ziggy Stardust, Nirvana, Johnny Cash and many more – and the evening wouldn’t be complete without a sing-along to ‘My Lovely Horse’!

Come and meet Joe and immerse yourself in the very silly delights of Father Ted.

Ah, go on… you will!

“A purveyor of choice gags, a natural storyteller, guitar in hand, Joe Rooney delights the room with his infectiously manic delivery.” -

Ardal O'Hanlon

Gail Porter: Hung, Drawn and Portered - 14/06/2024 07:30 PM

Gail has just completed 31 sold out shows at The Edinburgh Fringe and is now taking her hilarious stand up show on tour

"Has anyone here been sectioned?" TV presenter Gail Porter jokily asks her audience. Famed for her vibrancy as well as mental health struggles, she has turned to comedy to take control of her own story.

Comedy is a new venture for Gail. She has just concluded a run of her one-woman show Hung, Drawn and Portered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

The show documents her life experiences and appears to be liberating.

As a lively 25-year-old in the 1990s, she hosted TV programmes including Fully Booked, Top Of The Pops and Wish You Were Here.

But her pathway began to change tack in 1999 when she posed naked for FHM magazine. She was assured the image wouldn't go anywhere, but instead it was projected onto the Houses of Parliament, standing 18m (60ft) high. The first she knew of it was when she heard her name mentioned on the news.

In 2005 she also developed alopecia and her TV career practically ended overnight.

"My head's quite a good shape and I'm quite clumsy and I thought I'm the sort of person that would probably take my wig off in a bar, scratch my head, put it back on, and then everyone in the bar would be traumatized"

But it has also provided her with a wealth of amusing material.

Gail's career has been a rollercoaster and at the moment she's enjoying a rising profile thanks to the comedy.

Think Floyd’s new show for 2024 features the whole range of classic Pink Floyd from Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, The Wall, The Division Bell and more.

Pink Floyd's Nick Mason describes the band as "Brilliant! - They are really good." In an interview on LBC the legendary drummer commended Think Floyd and rather generously called them "better than we are”.

Think Floyd pride themselves in faithfully recreating Pink Floyd's timeless music, backed by their dedicated team of sound and lighting engineers and an impressive laser light show, this exciting production will recreate all the atmosphere, visual magnitude and musical excellence of Pink Floyd live on stage.

It's no wonder Think Floyd are widely regarded as the UK's number one Pink Floyd tribute show.

Talk - History of St. Barnabas centre, Thorley - 18/06/2024 12:30 PM

In the early 1990s, the Church of St James the Great, Thorley was proving too small for its growing congregation. In 1994, a large adjoining Tudor Barn belonging to Thorley Hall Farm became available. After fundraising, plus a considerable donation, the pig barn was converted into the substantial church and community centre that we have today. This talk will focus on its year-long conversion, its timber-framed history and its present day uses.

EXHIBITION ON SCREEN presents Painting the modern garden: Monet to Matisse, 90' - 20/06/2024 11:00 AM

PAINTING THE MODERN GARDEN: Monet to Matisse

Based on the sell-out show at the Royal Academy of Arts, London

Filmed and Directed by David Bickerstaff

Produced by Phil Grabsky

Claude Monet was an avid horticulturist and arguably the most important painter of gardens in the history of art, but he was not alone. Great artists like Van Gogh, Bonnard, Sorolla, Sargent, Pissarro and Matisse all saw the garden as a powerful subject for their art. These great artists, along with many other famous names, feature in an innovative and extensive exhibition from the Royal Academy of Art, London.

From the exhibition walls to the wonder and beauty of artists’ gardens like Giverny and Seebüll, the film takes a magical and widely travelled journey to discover how different contemporaries of Monet built and cultivated modern gardens to explore expressive motifs, abstract color, decorative design and utopian ideas. 

Guided by passionate curators, artists and garden enthusiasts, this remarkable collection of Impressionists, Post-Impressionists, and avant-garde artists of the early twentieth century will reveal the rise of the modern garden in popular culture and the public’s enduring facination with gardens today. Long considered spaces for expressing colour, light and atmosphere, the garden has occupied the creative minds of some of the worlds greatest artists. As Monet said, ‘Apart from painting and gardening, I’m no good at anything’.For lovers of art or lovers of gardens, this is an ideal film.


Running time: 93 Minutes

EXHIBITION ON SCREEN presents John Singer Sargent: Fashion and Swagger, 90' - 18/07/2024 11:00 AM

Make 2024 the year of art as you discover some of the greatest artworks all at your local cinema! 

Working with top international museums and galleries, Exhibition On Screen create films which offer a cinematic immersion into the world's best-loved art, accompanied by insights from the world's leading historians and arts critics.

JOHN SINGER SARGENT

Directed by David Bickerstaff

John Singer Sargent is known as the greatest portrait artist of his era.  What made his ‘swagger’ portraits remarkable was his power over his sitters, what they wore and how they were presented to the audience. Through interviews with curators, contemporary fashionistas and style influencers, Exhibition on Screen’s film will examine how Sargent’s unique practice has influenced modern art, culture and fashion.

Filmed at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Tate Britain, London, the exhibition reveals Sargent’s power to express distinctive personalities, power dynamics and gender identities during this fascinating period of cultural reinvention. Alongside 50 paintings by Sargent sit stunning items of clothing and accessories worn by his subjects, drawing the audience into the artist’s studio.

Sargent’s sitters were often wealthy, their clothes costly, but what happens when you turn yourself over to the hands of a great artist? The manufacture of public identity is as controversial and contested today as it was at the turn of the 20th century, but somehow Sargent’s work transcends the social noise and captures an alluring truth with each brush stroke.

Step into the glittering world of fashion, scandal and shameless self-promotion that made John Singer Sargent the painter who defined an era.

Explore the unique creative process of the late 19th century’s favourite portrait artist and the way in which his portraits captured the spirit of a vibrant and rapidly changing age.

EXHIBITION ON SCREEN presents My National Gallery, 90' - 22/08/2024 11:00 AM

MY NATIONAL GALLERY

Directed by Phil Grabsky and Ali Ray

The National Gallery of London is one of the world’s greatest art galleries. It is full of masterpieces, an endless resource of history, an endless source of stories. But whose stories are told?  Which art has the most impact and on whom? The power of great art lies in its ability to communicate with anyone, no matter their art historical knowledge, their background, their beliefs.

This film gives voice to those who work at the gallery – from cleaner to curator, security guard to director – who identify the one artwork that means the most to them and why. An assortment of people from all walks of life who have a strong connection to the gallery make surprising choices of both well-known and lesser-known artworks. Finally, some well-known celebrities explain what they head for when they visit the gallery.

These stories are used as a lens through which to explore the 200-year history of the National Gallery and what the future may hold for this spectacular space.

Everyone in this film has a special connection to the National Gallery, making for some heart-warming, moving and surprising stories.

Beloved celebrities, devoted staff members and world class experts come together to paint a unique portrait of this iconic British institution for its 200th birthday.

Omid Djalili: Namaste

The Persian Comedy Powerhouse performs his critically acclaimed new show NAMASTE where Omid peacefully bows to his inner anger and unleashes a torrent of comedic vitriol upon the current state of this dangerously messed up planet.

No government gets a green card. No tyrant avoids a take down. No audience member leaves the theatre with an ounce of laughter left in them.

You have been warned.

“So hysterically funny and at the same time so poignant and powerful that calling it stand-up barely does it justice.”
