The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel…and Indian Inspired Afternoon Tea

Join us for a screening of the brilliant film The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel followed by an Indian inspired afternoon tea with cakes, sandwiches and other treats catered by Brentwood’s own authentic Indian cook Vidushi (Tastefully Yours) and of course plenty of Birchall’s Darjeeling Tea.

Some British retirees (Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy) decide to outsource their retirement to exotic — and less expensive — India. Lured by advertisements for the newly restored Marigold Hotel and imagining a life of leisure in lush surroundings, they arrive and find that the Marigold is actually a shell of its former self. Though their new home is not quite what they had imagined, the retirees find that life and love can begin again when they let go of their pasts.

The film will start at 1.30pm followed by afternoon tea at 3.30pm.

Film running time: 119m
Rating: 12 (strong language, moderate sex references, racist remarks)

Return to the Forbidden Planet

Shakespeare’s forgotten rock and roll masterpiece

The show features a score of 1950s and 1960s rock and roll classics including Good Vibrations, Great Balls of Fire, Born To Be Wild and The Young Ones, and dialogue largely adapted from well-known passages from Shakespeare.

This production will contain the use of stroboscopic (flashing/pulsing) light effects

See How They Run (Monday Matinee Film)

See How They Run (12)

In the West End of 1950s London, plans for a movie version of smash-hit play The Mousetrap come to an abrupt halt after a pivotal member of the crew is murdered. When world-weary Inspector Stoppard (Sam Rockwell) and eager rookie Constable Stalker (Saoirse Ronan) take on the case, the two find themselves thrown into a puzzling whodunit within the glamorously sordid theatre underground, investigating the mysterious homicide at their own peril.

“See How They Run is the whodunnit as hoot, with lots of laughs, oodles of style and played with verve by a quality cast. It also reconfirms Saoirse Ronan as a comedy god.” – Empire Magazine (4 Stars)

Rating: 12 (moderate violence, threat, bloody images)

Running time: 94m

Each ticket includes a free tea or americano coffee at the Theatre Café Bar

Kipps: The New Half a Sixpence Musical

Brentwood Operatic Society presents

Kipps: The New Half a Sixpence Musical

Flash, Bang, Wallop!


Arthur Kipps, an orphan, is an over-worked draper’s assistant at Shalford’s Bazaar, Folkestone, at the turn of the last century. He is a charming but ordinary young man who, along with his fellow apprentices, dreams of a better and more fulfilling world, but he likes his fun just like any other, except not quite. When Kipps unexpectedly inherits a fortune that propels him into high society, it confuses everything he thought he knew about life.

Watching him wrestle with his new identity is his childhood companion and not-quite girlfriend, Ann Pornick, who sees with dismay how Arthur is being made over in a new image by the beautiful and classy Helen Walsingham. She is always there with helpful hints on how Arthur could improve himself and make his life richer and more meaningful, if only he would believe in himself, and listen to her. Both of these young women love Arthur – there is no doubt about that – but which should he listen to? With the help of his friends, Arthur learns that if you want to have the chance of living the right life, you need to make the right choices.

This new stage version of Half A Sixpence, which returns to the H. G. Wells semi-autobiographical novel, “Kipps”, in order to reinvent the musical “Half a Sixpence” for the modern age, has a stellar creative team and reunites bookwriter Julian Fellowes with George Stiles and Anthony Drewe, the musical team that co-creator Cameron Mackintosh first put together to create the smash-hit stage adaptation of Mary Poppins with Disney. Julian Fellowes’ masterful adaptation returns the musical to its literary roots, in a timeless and contemporary way, and Stiles and Drewe’s brilliantly infectious new score harnesses the David Heneker classics with a joyous verve.
