Judy- Join us for an Oscar-Winning Performance!

Just one of the films showing at the Brentwood Theatre for our Community Cinema is ‘Judy’- an Oscar-winning biographical film centred around legendary star of stage and screen, Judy Garland.

The film is set thirty years after Garland shot to fame in the Wizard of Oz as she arrives in London to perform a series of sold-out shows in the winter of 1968. Renée Zellweger’s portrayal of Garland has seen her win a whole host of coveted awards including Best Actress at the 2020 Academy Awards earlier this month, the same award at the BAFTAs and even the ‘Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role’ award at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

So come along and join us to see what all of the fuss is about! Book your tickets here:  https://brentwood-theatre.co.uk/event/judy/ (8th June, 7.30pm)

Brentwood Theatre presents…………….

An Audience With Kenneth Cranham

The return of the Brentwood Boy turned star of the stage, film and television!

Known for his roles in films such as Made in Dagenham, Maleficent, Oliver!, Valkyrie and Layer Cake for one night only Olivier Award winning actor Kenneth Cranham will grace the Brentwood Theatre stage to be interviewed about his journey from growing up in Brentwood to the stage of The National Theatre and beyond in an intimate evening where you will even get the chance to ask the questions.

Kenneth Cranham has been a major theatre, TV, radio and film actor for more than 50 years. In his early career after graduating from RADA he worked and became friends with the playwright Joe Orton as he did later on with Harold Pinter, appearing in a number of his plays including The Caretaker and The Homecoming on stage and on TV with Pinter himself in The Birthday Party. In the 1980’s Ken became known to a wider audience in the TV series of Shine on Harvey Moon which is still enjoyed to this day being available on DVD. In the early 90’s Ken appeared in the ground breaking National Theatre production of An Inspector Calls which subsequently enjoyed great success in the West End and on tour in America. In 2015 Ken achieved his first Olivier award for Best Actor in The Father in which he movingly portrayed a man with Alzheimer’s disease.

On film Ken has appeared in such iconic films as Layer Cake, Made in Dagenham, Chocolat, Valkyrie, Gangster No 1 and the musical film of Oliver!

On TV he recently appeared in the drama Hatton Garden. He is currently filming Finding Alice which is currently due to air on TV later this year.

Ken is married with 2 children and lives in North London.

All profits from this event will go to Brentwood Theatre Trust
