The Band’s Visit
Thurs May 14th 7.30 £5, club members £3
A truly lovely film from Israeli director Eran Kolirin  We join the Alexandria Ceremonial Police Band  as they arrive in a small Israeli town to perform a concert at the local cultural centre. By the time it hits them that they’ve taken a wrong turn, the last bus back to civilisation has gone and they grudgingly accept the sanctuary of  bar owner Dina and resolve to spend a single weird and wonderful night in this desolate nowhere-town.
As the band-members try to make themselves as discreet as possible, the film pivots on the blossoming almost-relationship between Dina and the band’s irascible leader, Tawfiq, and it’s a union which becomes symbolic of the idea that there is a potential for political and cultural détente if we can just make it over that first, awkward hurdle. With its themes of social displacement subtly and skilfully enmeshed within a pleasingly straightforward shaggy-dog narrative, this is one of those films that runs at you with open arms, and you’ll find it very difficult not to succumb to its warm, warm embrace. “The Band's Visit” is the kind of film that will appeal to viewers: a charming, low-budget whimsy with a soupcon of political relevance. The music is lovely too.

TERRINGTON ARTS (with Helmsley Arts Centre)

presents

The 1812 Theatre Company in

Vita and Virginia

By Eileen Atkins

Two extraordinary 20th Century women exploring their passions, literary and otherwise. Action takes place in the 1920s and 1930s and into the first years of WWII. Two women seeking their place in the world as they face personal and professional conflicts as well as the looming world war.

Their revelatory letters to one another, which Eileen Atkins has adapted for the stage, chronicle their changing relationship as well as their creative lives. Fortunately for us, the twenty years of their relationship are covered in fascinating detail in their letters to each other, which they wrote sometimes daily and with insight and humour.

Friday 22nd May. Terrington Village Hall, 7.30pm

Tickets from Terrington Stores
