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.

Saturday 26th October 2024
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.
