A 1920s English seaside town bears witness to a dark, absurd scandal in this

riotous mystery comedy. Based on a stranger-than-fiction true story, Wicked Little

Letters follows two neighbours: deeply-conservative local Edith Swan (Olivia

Colman) and rowdy Irish migrant Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley). When Edith and

fellow residents start to receive wicked letters full of unintentionally hilarious

profanities, foul-mouthed Rose is charged with the crime. The anonymous letters

prompt a national uproar, and a trial ensues. However, as the town's women, led

by Police Officer Gladys Moss (Anjana Vasan), begin to investigate the crime

themselves, they suspect that something is amiss and Rose might not be the

culprit after all. Studio Canal

Film Night - One Life (12A)

Run time - 1hr 50mins

The true story of Sir Nicholas 'Nicky' Winton, a young London broker who, in the months leading up to World War II, rescued 669 predominantly Jewish children from the Nazis. Nicky visited Prague in December 1938 and found families who had fled the rise of the Nazis in Germany and Austria, living in desperate conditions with little or no shelter and food, and under threat of Nazi invasion. He immediately realized it was a race against time. How many children could he and the team rescue before the borders closed? Fifty years later, it's 1988 and Nicky lives haunted by the fate of the children he wasn't able to bring to safety in England; always blaming himself for not doing more. It's not until a live BBC television show, 'That's Life', surprises him by introducing him to some surviving children - now adults - that he finally begins to come to terms with the guilt and grief he had carried for five decades.

THE GONDOLIERS
(Gilbert and Sullivan)
In 1889 the Gilbert and Sullivan partnership had been taking the London music stage bystorm for over 18 years, with hit after hit. That said the partnership was by now a bit rocky – Sullivan said he was tired of comic operas and wanted to lean more towards grand opera (their previous collaboration had been the more serious “The Yeomen of the Guard”.

However, the new piece obviously didn’t put him off too much, and in the opening of “The Gondoliers”, Gilbert did give the composer his head. The first 20 minutes are sung throughout and absolutely chockfull of good tunes. The plot is typical Gilbertian absurdity – mistaken identities, babies swapped over in
childhood, secret love interest and a ‘big reveal’ twist at the end. It has some of the most colourful and happy music Sullivan ever wrote, despite his deteriorating health, and Somerset Opera are delighted to be performing it again after a gap of 10 years.

It was the duo’s last great success, and it ran for 554 consecutive performances at the Savoy Theatre, the fifth longest run of ANY piece of musical theatre at the time. Fun is poked at class distinctions, and by setting it far away from England, Gilbert was also able to have a dig at monarchy as well. (Perhaps Queen Victoria would otherwise not have been amused!). In fact there was a command performance of it at Windsor Castle in 1891, the first theatrical entertainment to take place at Windsor since the death of Prince Albert thirty years earlier.

It’s a show which bubbles with good humour and joyous melody – come along for an evening of fun and great music!
