The action unfolds over one night, in a pub, in the North of England. Two actors play all fourteen characters - the landlord and landlady, who appear to be at war behind the bar, and their eccentric regulars - each with a story to tell. Bolton born Jim Cartwright's plays are consistently performed around the world and have been translated into over thirty languages. They have won numerous awards, including Manchester Evening News' Best New Play, for TWO, in 1989. "The writing is brilliantly, surrealistically and comically poetic." Sunday Times "This richly textured piece is an assured and highly entertaining show." Independent "A sharply, salty, quickfire evocation of the surface gaiety and underlying melancholia of English pub life." Michael Billington, Guardian "This extraordinary gifted and original voice.populates the space with broad humour, dry wit and often shudderingly moving poetry." Time Out "It's hilariously funny, savagely sad, wistful, surprising and magical." Royal Exchange Please note that ticket prices and the Box Office for Attfield Theatre productions are different than for our own film screenings. The Box office for this production opens two weeks before the run. To book tickets please contact: The Guildhall reception: 01691 680222 (Mon - Fri 9am - 5pm). | | | NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE The Best of British Theatre in a Cinema Near You This House a new play by James Graham Monday 27th May Doors open 6:30pm, Screening 7:00pm The Attfield Theatre, The Guildhall, Bailey Head It's 1974 and the corridors of Westminster ring with the sound of infighting and backbiting as Britain's political parties battle to change the future of the nation, whatever it takes. In this hung parliament, the ruling party holds on by a thread. Votes are won and lost by one, fist fights erupt in the bars, and ill MPs are hauled in to cast their votes. It's a time when a staggering number of politicians die, and age-old traditions and allegiances are thrown aside in the struggle for power. This biting, energetic and critically-acclaimed new play strips politics down to the practical realities of those behind the scenes who roll up their sleeves, and on occasion bend the rules, to manoeuvre a diverse and conflicting chorus of MPs within the Mother of all Parliaments. James Graham's play has been nominated for two Olivier Awards, Best New Play and Best Director and quickly sold out both of its National Theatre runs with rave reviews from critics and audiences alike. View the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxviKJmgtxc Please note we will be screening this as a recorded screening on Monday 27th May due to The Attfield Theatre's own production of 'Two' which will be in rehearsal during the live broadcast on 16th May. | | | Song For Marion (PG) Wednesday 29th May 1:00pm (doors open 12:30pm) Market Day Matinee The Attfield Theatre, The Guildhall, Bailey Head In British comedy 'Song for Marion', pensioner Arthur (Terence Stamp) hits an unlikely high note with wife Marion (Vanessa Redgrave) when he joins a local choir. Everyone hopes that the experience will bring a touch of harmony to his life by curing his grumpy ways and bring him closer to son James (Christopher Eccleston)…but the curmudgeonly chorister soon goes head to head with the other members of the highly unconventional singing society. | | | See Opera Differently with the Glyndebourne Summer Festival being broadcast into kinokulture cinema this June, July and August.
