Good People

For Thursday, the 1st June at 6pm we are screening the film that won Brendan Fraser the Oscar for Best Actor, The Whale.

Our 8pm screening will be the Shanty-Singing Sequel, Fisherman’s Friends 2: One and All.

Both screenings will be in the Expo Hall on the ground floor as our usual venue, the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre, is unavailable.

The Whale
USA, 2022, Drama, 109 mins, Rated M (coarse language)
Cast: Brendan Fraser , Sadie Sink, Hong Chau, Samantha Morton.

The Whale follows the life of Charlie, a morbidly obese English teacher who realises his time is running out when he suffers heart failure.

As such, he begins to take stock of his life and spends time with his friend, Liz. And she inspires Charlie to reach out to his now teenage daughter, Ellie whom he has little contact with since she was young.

"It's a story about love and forgiveness that Brendan Fraser magnificently carries." - Empire

The Octagon Theatre is about to presents the heartwarming comedy, The Illiterate Book Club by local author, Geoff Bartlett.

It's about a group of friends who love books but who never have the time to read, so they start a book club anyway and come up with creative ways to soak up their favourite stories.
And apart from "book reviews", there's food, drink and updates on everything else that's keeping them from sitting down with a good book.

Running June 2 to 17 at the Octagon Theatre in Regent, tickets are available online.
