Italian movie (in Italian with English subtitles) Pranzo di Ferragosto / Mid-August lunch.
Qurn Village Hall, 64 Leicester Rd LE12 8BB - 7.00pm to 9.00pm
Cost: Free for members, £5 for non-members (tea and coffee included).
Italian movie (in Italian with English subtitles)
Pranzo di Ferragosto / Mid-August lunch.
Let's enjoy a movie together. No booking necessary.
Mid-August Lunch is a delightful Italian film that provides a balanced and loving look at a nurturing male and the kindness he lavishes upon his three elderly guests and his mother. Gianni has his failings: his alcoholism is revealed, and he obviously has trouble handling family financial affairs. The director Gianni Di Gregorio does a fine job playing Gianni, and he draws out nicely delivered performances from the women , all non-professional actors.

Live & Local present 'Alas, Poor Yorick'!
Quorn Village Hall - Curtain up at 7.00pm Doors open 6.30pm
Cost: 12.50
If the Two Ronnies were cast as the Gravediggers in Shakespeare’s Hamlet re-written by Samuel Beckett you might have something like Ridiculusmus’s “Alas! Poor Yorick”.
Flipping the Shakespearean original tragedy into an existential clown piece, the artistic partnership of Jon Haynes and David Woods pull out every trick in their theatre playbook to create a Stoppardian take on the gravediggers from ‘Hamlet’.
This hilarious clown show is not to be missed - even if, or especially if, you don't like Shakespeare! Bring a bottle and some snacks and look forward to an evening of laughter.

The Mystic Vision of FRANCESCO D’ ASSISI An Illustrated talk by Caroline AM Clarke M.A.
Quorn Village Hall, 64 Leicester Rd, Quorn LE12 8BB - 7.00pm to 9.00pm
Cost: Free for members, £5.00 for non-members (tea and coffee included).
The Mystic Vision of FRANCESCO D’ ASSISI
An Illustrated talk by Caroline AM Clarke M.A.
“All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.”
― St. Francis Of Assisi, The Little Flowers of St. Francis of Assisi
When a small village was plagued by a wild wolf, it is told that a humble friar named Francesco came and met the predator with nothing but his gentle presence, and turned the wolf from a menace into a welcome protector of the community. This graceful man, who spoke to each part of creation as a sister or brother, has become one of the most beloved of all saints.
Join us as we explore the extraordinary and inspirational life of this beautiful soul expressed in the exquisite fresco series that adorns the interior of the Basilica of Assisi in the heart of the Umbrian countryside.
