Inspired by a true story this is a drama about a British boy with Pakistani origins trying to overcome racism and strict parentage in Luton in the 80s. When he is introduced to the music of Bruce Springsteen he becomes more than just a fan; it gives him an identity, faith in life and the courage to do things he wouldn't have dared otherwise. A deliciously romantic rock ‘n' roll parable and an ode to the power of pop music to inspire.

Feted at Cannes this year, Quentin Tarantino's latest comedy-drama is an engrossing tale following a fading star of a western TV series and his long-time stunt double as they try to remain relevant in the fading Hollywood's golden age of 1969. A breezy all-star fantasia which blends Hollywood and Manson-era violence into dazzling and incendiary cinema.

By Richard Bean
Based on The Servant of Two Masters by Carlo Goldoni, with songs by Grant Olding

Featuring a Tony Award-winning performance from host of the The Late Late Show, James Corden, the hilarious West End and Broadway hit One Man, Two Guvnors returns to cinemas to mark National Theatre Live’s 10th birthday.

Fired from his skiffle band, Francis Henshall becomes minder to Roscoe Crabbe, a small time East End hood, now in Brighton to collect £6,000 from his fiancée’s dad. But Roscoe is really his sister Rachel posing as her own dead brother, who’s been killed by her boyfriend Stanley Stubbers.

Holed up at The Cricketers’ Arms, the permanently ravenous Francis spots the chance of an extra meal ticket and takes a second job with one Stanley Stubbers, who is hiding from the police and waiting to be re-united with Rachel. To prevent discovery, Francis must keep his two guvnors apart.  Simple.

Extra performance - Sun 29 Sept at 7.30pm

The Fleabag screening on the 12 Sept has sold out. To accommodate those disappointed fans we will be screening an Encore performance on the 29 Sept.

See the hilarious, award-winning, one-woman show that inspired the BBC’s hit TV series Fleabag, broadcast live to cinemas from London’s West End.

Written and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Killing Eve) and directed by Vicky Jones, Fleabag is a rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life.

Fleabag may seem oversexed, emotionally unfiltered and self-obsessed, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. With family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig café struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose.

Playing to sold-out audiences in New York and London, don’t miss your chance to see this ‘legitimately hilarious show’ (New Yorker), screened 'as live'.

An intensely felt homage to filmmaking from Spanish icon Pedro Almodovar.

When media-savvy members of the Satanic Temple organise a series of public actions designed to advocate for religious freedom and challenge corrupt authority, they prove that with little more than a clever idea, a mischievous sense of humour, and a few rebellious friends, you can speak truth to power in some truly profound ways. As charming and funny as it is thought-provoking.

Based on a true story, Ealing's wondrous and effervescent tale of a remote Scottish Island's inhabitants unwittingly having fallen foul of a total lack of their national tipple when salvation seemingly arrives in the form of a wrecked cargo ship holding a lifetimes supply. Rescuing the booty is one thing; hiding the precious stuff from the mainland authorities who come looking is an entirely different matter.

The widely admired, Oscar-winning comedy famously set Merlot sales tumbling (and boosted those of Pinot Noir) based on its lead character’s acidly aired wine reviews. As we close Food Feast 2018 it’s time to celebrate food’s eternal (and often more enjoyable) bedfellow – drink!

There will be a free wine-tasting in the foyer before the screening and the film features an exclusive Film Feast video introduction from the film’s writer/director, Alexander Payne.

From executive producer Martin Scorsese, writer-director Joanna Hogg delivers a mysterious film of icy precision in The Souvenir,  a UK drama about a film student who forms a relationship with a troubled older man. Recalling the work of Derek Jarman, Hogg builds on previous works Archipelago and Exhibition to emerge as one of the most singular visions working today in British filmmaking. Winner of the Sundance 2019 World Cinema Dramatic prize, The Souvenir truly is a film that stays with you, fixating in the mind long after the last utterly gorgeous frame.

"The Souvenir feels like the only film in the world that matters" - Time Out

"Hogg has found a contemporary English response to the rhetoric of Antonioni or Visconti"

- The Guardian

‘The course of true love never did run smooth.’

A feuding fairy King and Queen of the forest cross paths with four runaway lovers and a troupe of actors trying to rehearse a play. As their dispute grows, the magical royal couple meddle with mortal lives leading to love triangles, mistaken identities and transformations… with hilarious, but dark consequences.

Shakespeare’s most famous romantic comedy will be captured live from the Bridge Theatre in London. Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones), Oliver Chris (Green Wing, NT Live: Young Marx), David Moorst (NT Live: Allelujah!) and Hammed Animashaun (The Barber Shop Chronicles) lead the cast as Titania, Oberon, Puck and Bottom.

Directed by Nicholas Hytner, this production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream will build on the success of his immersive staging of Julius Caesar (NT Live 2018). The Bridge Theatre will become a forest – a dream world of flying fairies, contagious fogs and moonlight revels, surrounded by a roving audience following the action on foot.
