Agatha Christie's Towards Zero

Calling all Agatha Christie enthusiasts! Don’t miss an unforgettable adaptation of one of Christie’s most captivating murder mysteries: Towards Zero. This thrilling production, brought to you by Bijou Theatre Productions, is part of their esteemed annual Agatha Christie run, a tradition that has delighted audiences since 1984. Towards Zero is a mesmerizing journey into the human psyche. This production feels like opening a long-locked door. The intrigue begins not with a murder, but with the intricate web of choices, grudges, and tensions that simmer beneath the surface. Expect a gripping examination of jealousy and the subtle dynamics at play, as the story unfolds in an atmosphere charged with suspense. The Plot Unfolds. Set against the stunning backdrop of Gull’s Point, the seaside residence of Lady Tressilian, the story invites you into a house party where Neville Strange finds himself torn between his ex-wife, Audrey, and his new love, Kay. As tensions rise, the stage is set for a chilling exploration of human emotions that leads to a shocking and brutal murder. Originally adapted for the stage by Gerald Verner, Towards Zero first premiered at the St. James’s Theatre in London in 1956.

Soul To Soul (u) 1h 36m

Dir: Denis Sanders Cast: Tina Turner, Ike Turner, Roberta Flack Genre: Documentary Soul To Soul, a vibrant and historically significant 1971 concert film — featuring performances by Ike & Tina Turner, Santana, Wilson Pickett, the Staples Singers, Les McCann & Eddie Harris, and The Voices of East Harlem. In February 1971, several dozen African American soul, jazz, and gospel artists embarked on a journey that would change the lives of everyone involved. They travelled from New York City to Ghana, West Africa to take part in a 13-hour concert entitled Soul To Soul. The concert was a celebration of 14 years of Ghana’s independence from British rule. For most of these artists, it would be their first trip to Africa. For the African American musicians, this was a journey about personal roots, the ancestral homeland, history, discovery, loss, pain and joy. Directed by Academy Award winner Denis Sanders and produced by Tom Mosk & Richard Bock, the resulting concert film/documentary had a limited theatrical run in late 1971. Now, 55 years later, Soul To Soul will have another chance to connect with audiences. The film has been restored and reconstructed using the high quality 2K transfers from the original film elements, and the soundtrack has been remastered. – Guardian Bar opens from 7pm serving our fabulous cocktails, fine wines and craft beers, as well as savoury and sweet snacks. Film starts promptly at 8pm with last orders 10 minutes before the film WATCH THE TRAILER HERE

Vox Theatre Company Presents The Dream

This summer, VOX Theatre Company invites audiences to step into a world of love, laughter, music and magic with The Dream, a fresh, new, two hander, adaptation inspired by Shakespeare’s beloved A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Set beneath a moonlit sky where anything seems possible, The Dream follows a cast of lovers, dreamers, fairies and fools as they stumble through a night of enchantment, confusion and unexpected transformation. Along the way, hearts are lost and found, identities are challenged, and the ordinary world gives way to wonder. Created by South Devon’s own VOX Theatre Company, The Dream brings professional theatre, live music and a touch of magic to venues across the region. Blending Shakespeare’s timeless story with VOX’s signature style of visual storytelling, original music and playful humour, the production is a celebration of creativity, connection and the beauty that emerges when we truly see one another. Suitable for seasoned theatre-goers and those discovering live performance for the first time, this joyful production promises an evening of laughter, imagination and theatrical magic. Join us and discover why, even after four hundred years, Shakespeare’s dream still speaks to us all. Blackawton Village Hall, Friday 24th July 7pm (Bar open from 6pm)

The Invite (15) 1h 47m

Dir: Olivia Wilde Cast: Seth Rogen, Olivia Wilde, Penélope Cruz, Edward Norton Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance The latest film from Olivia Wilde is her finest work yet – a charged, hilarious chamber piece that reverberates with the simmering tension of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and channels the queasy comedy of Abigail’s Party. Joe, a weary music professor, arrives home one evening to find his highly strung wife Angela has decorated their apartment, laid out a platter of expensive cheeses, and invited their sexy, uninhibited neighbours to supper. This remake of Spanish comedy The People Upstairs treats us to four knockout performances from Wilde, Rogan, Cruz and Norton. They are assisted in no small part by a razor-sharp script from Rashida Jones and Will McCormack, the duo behind smart comedy-drama Celeste and Jesse Forever. It also features a vibrant score from Devonté Hynes (aka Blood Orange) that ups the tension, and is handsomely shot on 35mm by The Studio cinematographer Adam Newport-Berra – his nimble camera keenly exploring the shifting energy between the characters. It’s a perfect exercise in probing the insecurities that lie hidden beneath the surface of a seemingly happy relationship. Bar opens from 7pm serving our fabulous cocktails, fine wines and craft beers, as well as savoury and sweet snacks. Film starts promptly at 8pm with last orders 10 minutes before the film WATCH THE TRAILER HERE
