National Theatre Live
Our NT Live screenings have returned for 2022!
We're starting the season with Leopoldstadt - a family's story passing through the convulsions of war, revolution, impoverishment and the Holocaust. Then Jodie Comer (Killing Eve) stars in Prima Facie, as Tessa - a young, bright barrister who has worked her way to the top! Next, we're excited to present The Book of Dust, a gripping adaptation set twelve years before the "His Dark Materials" trilogy. Last, but not least, we have Straight Line Crazy where Ralph Fiennes (Harry Potter, KIngsman) plays a New York master manipulator.

Met Opera
The 15th season of Live in HD kicks off with the epic Boris Godunov, starring the great German bass René Pape as the tragic tsar at the centre of Mussorgsky’s masterpiece. Followed by historic Met premiere of Terence Blanchard’s Fire Shut Up in My Bones, the first opera presented at the Met by a Black composer, based on the New York Times bestselling memoir by Charles M. Blow. Later Tony Award–winning director Bartlett Sher creates a bold new take on Verdi’s timeless tragedy Rigoletto. In exciting news for the first time in company history, the Met presents the original five-act French version of Verdi’s epic opera Don Carlos, in which Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin leads a starry cast.

Movie Fundraisers
A movie night is a flexible fundraiser that can be tailored to meet your club’s needs. Very simply, the plan is to encourage attendees to watch a movie together and utilise the gathering to raise funds for your club. A club can aim to make money off the movie tickets, the food and catering or upon raffle tickets sold on the night.
