Our season ends with the ultimate of all Great British Romance films. A chance meeting leads to an impossible love affair, every Thursday, over a cup of tea.  It's GREAT.  It's BRITISH.  It's ROMANCE!

Quite often listed as the best romance film of all time, Brief Encounter is pure reserved desire, a fleeting moment of love that has to pass.   "The loveliest period piece imaginable." [Anthony Quinn, The Independent]

The film, screenplay written by Noel Coward, was based on his one-act play, "Still Life", a half-hour play set in a tea room at a train station.

You will be caught up in the romance from the off.

Price: £5 (full price) / £3.50 (conc)

This film is being shown as part of our GREAT BRITISH ROMANCE SEASON (11 to 22 September 2011)

It's time to celebrate a very British kind of romance! The Star and Shadow presents four films that straddle WWII and span the country.

Sunday 11th September, 7:30 pm: Wuthering Heights (1939)

Our Great British Romance season begins with one of the greatest love stories ever told. Laurence Olivier, Merle Oberon and David Niven star in this classic tale of doomed love upon the Moors. Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy!

Thursday 15th September, 7:30 pm: I Know Where I'm Going! (1945)

Powell and Pressburger most certainly know how to do romance! Wendy Hiller is magnificent as the unromantic and stubborn Joan Webster who is out to marry for marriage's sake, but who finds love along the way.

Sunday 18th September, 7:30 pm: The Wicked Lady (1945)

A Gainsborough picture to shock and break your heart. Barbara Worth (Margaret Lockwood) meets her match in Captain Jerry Jackson (James Mason) in a film of dandy highway men, dissatisfaction and desire.

Thursday 22nd September, 7:30 pm: Brief Encounter (1945)

Our season ends with the ultimate of all Great British Romance films. A chance meeting leads to an impossible love affair, every Thursday, over a cup of tea. It's GREAT. It's BRITISH. It's ROMANCE!
