famous and influential
women - Margaret
Thatcher. With a great

The Ides of
March (15)
A blistering characterdriven thriller set in the
murky world of an
American Presidential
election focuses on a
young, ambitious aide
who finds his notions of
personal loyalty tested to
the limit as sex, betrayal
and power corrupt everyone around him. This
fourth film from Clooney
as a director is both
gripping and ferociously
intelligent.
Starring
Ryan Gosling
George Clooney
Dir: George Clooney
1hr 41mins
War Horse
W/E
(12A)
Wallis & Edward (15)
This is a tale of loyalty,
hope and tenacity, in a
sweeping canvas of
rural England and Europe
during the First World
War. About a remarkable
friendship between a
horse named Joey and a
man called Albert. When
war breaks out, Joey is
sold to the cavalry and
shipped to France but
Albert cannot forget him,
and lies about his age to
enlist with the army to
bring him home.
A true account of the
love affair between
divorcee Wallis Simpson
and King Edward VIII
that led to his abdication
in 1936. This parallel
romantic story based in
modern New York,
makes for a genuinely
engrossing drama that at
times is as compelling as
"The King's Speech."

Hugo (U)
The Artist
Martin Scorsese, the
true master of cinematic
virtuosity, has conjured
up true magic in family
entertainment. Set in the
1930s, an orphan boy
lives a secret life in the
walls of a Paris train
station. With the help of
an eccentric girl, he
searches for the answer
to a mystery, and links
the father he recently lost
to an ill-tempered toy
shop owner and a heart
shaped lock seemingly
without a key.
(PG)
The most entertaining
film you will see this year,
a joyous and endlessly
inventive story set just
as talking pictures burst
onto the scene. Silent
movie star George
Valentin believes they
are just a passing fad
and refuses to appear in
them. As his career
stalls, a young actress
he discovered becomes
an all singing, all dancing,
all talking Hollywood
star.

The Descendants
(15)
Come join us,
it’s going to be
a hoot!
Plop was a baby Barn Owl. He was fat and fluffy. He
had big round eyes. Plop was exactly the same as
every barn owl that has ever been – except for one
thing. He was AFRAID OF THE DARK.
This funny, gentle and reassuring tale is written
especially for small people aged 3 - 7, and grownups who sleep with the big light on!

superb as a Hawaiian

his wife suffers a near
fatal accident. Forced to
take on the role of back
up parent, he bonds with
his two daughters who
he hardly knows and
learns that his wife has

The Best Exotic
Marigold Hotel
(12A)

India to take up
residence in what they
believe is a newly

Me and My Girl
Gainsborough Amateur Operatic Society
A sublime and sunny treat for musical comedy fans
of all ages
The show revolves around an unrefined cockney
called Bill Snibson who is discovered to be the longlost 14th Earl of Hareford but he can only inherit the
title and estate if he satisfies the will’s executors
that he is a ‘fit and proper person’ to do so.
The result? Chaos of the most comical kind.
With a host of hilarious characters, witty one-liners
(guaranteed by Stephen Fry’s acclaimed revision)
and toe-tapping, uplifting musical numbers (The
Lambeth Walk, The Sun Has Got His Hat On, Leaning
On A Lamp Post), ‘Me and My Girl’ is a must see!
Come and support Gainsborough’s long
standing amateur group!

Shakespeare’s most
military tragedy gets a
bloody modern
make-over in this account

Lilies on the Land
A truly remarkable and sparkling piece of theatre
which celebrates an extraordinary episode in
Britain’s history – the Women’s Land Army of World
War II.
This delightful and often deeply touching play charts
the personal journeys of four women who sign up to
become Land Girls, determined to work endless,
backbreaking hours on farms across the country in a
bid to do their best for the War Effort.
Based on hundreds of letters from and interviews
with the original Land Girls along with songs from
the period, Lilies on the Land is a revealing, funny,
wonderfully moving and utterly captivating portrait of
some of Britain’s pluckiest, unsung heroes.
Simply unmissable, this is theatre at its most
memorable.
