This month under the Spotlight…

*Table Read*

Not every classic movie started out as a classic… As part of a touring series of screenings, the British Institute of Film is screening exclusive behind the scenes footage of the first ever script readthrough of the most famous movies in the history of cinema, as chosen by the audience! Actors may be fired, directors may be questioned, and there’s probably a good reason this footage never saw the light of day until now. Come and witness the entirely improvised Table Read for all the inside scoops on your favourite movies…

*Tales From The Wasteland*

An improvised post-apocalyptic adventure. Our cast of wastelanders will take a single suggestion from you and craft an entire narrative before your very eyes with no pre-prepared characters, story or dialogue.

If the world was ending, what would be the one thing you’d want to survive? Our band of dystopian adventurers will explore a new world and find out what’s left over after Earth’s devastation. Expect raiders, mutants and violence over scarce resources in this absurd dark comedy inspired by classics of the genre such as Mad Max, The Last of Us and Fallout.

This show is not recommended for children due to the tendency to have dark themes, violence and cannibalism. Seriously, cannibalism comes up way too often.
