This is a cinematic event not to be missed. Along with other silent comedy extracts featuring Charlie Chaplin and Snub Pollard I shall be introducing the truly hilarious Big Business – in my opinion the finest short comedy that Laurel and Hardy ever made. If you’re only familiar with Stan and Ollie‘s sound films then Big Business will be a real eye-opener. We also screen Buster Keaton‘s masterpiece Sherlock Junior- which is packed with superb visual gags , death defying stunts and audacious cinematic trickery. These films will feature live piano accompaniment by the brilliant Kirsty Newton who is also thrilled to be appearing alongside such giants of the silver screen. Paul Merton.

Unsettling intimacy and brutal action combine at breakneck speed as Max Webster (Life of Pi, Henry V) directs this tragic tale of love, murder, and nature’s power of renewal. With staging ‘full of wolfish imagination and alarming surprise’ (★★★★★ The Guardian), the immersive 5.1 cinema surround sound places the audience inside the minds of the Macbeths, asking are we ever really responsible for our actions?
