Warren Miller's ALL TIME documentary
Sat 4 November Broadway Cinema
Get ready to go deep into the stuff of which snowy dreams are made with Warren Miller’s ALL TIME.
Warren Miller ski and snowboard films have served as the annual start to winter for skiers and snowboarders across the globe for nearly 75 years.
From the birth of ski towns like Sun Valley and Aspen, to the icons and innovators - like the original hotdoggers - the film will spin through the years like snow ghosts, bringing humour and inspiration.
The Full Monty
Mon 30 October - Sat 4 November Theatre Royal
There are no heroes in Simon Beaufoy’s heartfelt play, just a group of lads trying to regain their dignity and pride. This fast and funny play is still very much of our time, as again we are hit by a cost- of-living crisis.
Gaz and his mates are down on their luck and feel they have been thrown on the scrap heap, but they are determined to fight back and bare a little more than they ever thought they would have to.
As in the 1997 smash hit film, this brand-new production is a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs, laughs and heartbreak. Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the film on a major national tour, relive the music of the 90s and have a great night out in the company of the lads as they work to put on the show of their lives.
