The Three Musketeers

Prepare for a hilarious and uproarious family farce brought to you by Our Star Theatre Company. This theatrical re-telling of The Three Musketeers is packed with laughter, lively audience participation and plenty of energetically silly performances. The story centres around a small troupe of performers gearing up for their highly anticipated debut performance of The Three Musketeers. However, as the curtains rise, all is not as it seems. What starts as a simple theatrical endeavour quickly unravels into a whirlwind of confusion, mayhem, and comical mishaps. From forgotten lines to chaotic set changes, the actors find themselves entangled in a series of laugh-out-loud blunders, much to the delight of the audience. This delightfully entertaining production is brimming with wit, slapstick humour, and a dose of good-natured silliness that will keep you on the edge of your seat, laughing from start to finish.

Driving Mum - Teignmouth Film Society

Teignmouth Film Society Hilmar Oddsson’s darkly comedic road movie is a bewitching 1980-set odyssey of self-discovery and acceptance across the beautifully photographed landscapes of Iceland. Middle-aged and disappointed, Jón (Þröstur Leó Gunnarsson) spends his days knitting and listening to the radio with his domineering elderly mother (Kristbjörg Kjeld) on their rural Icelandic farmstead. Jón’s isolated world is upended when his mother suddenly passes away. But having left him a series of instructions to follow upon her death, Jón sets out on a journey across Iceland to honour her final wishes – including being buried in Eyrarbakki, her home village. Strapping her into his Ford Cortina, and with the beloved (and scene-stealing) family dog Brezhnev in tow, Jón sets off on his strange odyssey. With his late mum still relentlessly nagging him from the back seat, he meets a variety of peculiar and charming strangers en route, and encounters some ghosts from his past too… Beautifully filmed in crisp black and white, Driving Mum is a heartwarming, emotional film with a fantastic central performance from Gunnarsson. Tickets £5 – On The Door Only Bar Opens at 7pm | Screening at 8pm Director: Hilmar Oddsson Actors: Þröstur Leó Gunnarsson, Kristbjörg Kjeld, Hera Hilmar Country: Iceland Year of Release: 2022 Running Time: 112 mins Language: Icelandic Genre: Comedy, Drama
