Cinema: The Father – Thursday 11th Nov, 8pm – Tickets £8.25; Friends £7.25 Under 25s £5.50
Anthony is 80, living defiantly alone and rejecting the carers that his daughter, Anne, introduces. Yet help is becoming a necessity for Anne; she can’t make daily visits anymore and Anthony’s grip on reality is unravelling. As we see the ebb and flow of his memory, how much of his own identity and past can Anthony cling to? How does Anne cope as she grieves the loss of her father, while he still lives? [Certificate 12A]

Exhibition: Simon Doughty – ‘Taking the Scenic Route’ – Tuesday 16 – Saturday 27 November 10:00am – 4:30pm
My work shows my interest in colour, which often manifests in landscapes with a dreamlike quality. The male figure, representing myself, along with references to cycling, often appear in my work. I primarily enjoy painting, but collage and printing are also mediums I like exploring, resulting in vibrant, textured mixed media works.

Theatre: Mrs Churchill: My Life with Winston – Friday 19th Nov, 7:30pm, £14
Winston Churchill is arguably one of the most famous Englishmen that has ever lived. They say that behind every great man, there is a great woman. Was this true in Churchill’s case? What of Clementine, his wife for 56 years? Was he as grumpy and irascible at home as he often was in the House of Commons? Did Clem have any influence on him at all? All these questions will be answered, and many more, in Liz Grand’s superb, moving, sensitive and informative portrayal of Clementine Churchill.
