Mad Love: Valentine’s screening at The Old Operating Theatre

Published on 29th January 2019

The annual Valentine’s Day horror screening returns to the Old Operating Theatre. “Completely horrible” – Time Magazine. The British Board of Film Classification originally intended to ban ‘Mad Love’ (1935); a deranged inspection of Grand Guignol villainy. An accomplished but lustful surgeon (Peter Lorre in arguably his greatest performance) is driven to psychotic behaviour over his perverse obsession with an actress. A hugely successful example of 1930’s horror at its most unhinged and portentously Germanic, this tale of madness, murder, dismemberment and forced love is also a wicked, penetrative chunk of psychological study. The film will be preceded by an introduction by Gareth Miles. Doors will open at 6:30 PM. Tickets: £12.00

Romeo + Juliet at The View from The Shard

Published on 21st January 2019

The Extraordinary Travelling Film Show’s pop-up cinema  returns to The View from The Shard with a Valentines screening of the Baz Luhrman classic, Romeo + Juliet.  At over 800 feet above London, there is technically no one closer to the stars than you for this screening of ‘two star-crossed lovers’. But technicalities aside, The View from The Shard is one of the most atmospheric and, dare we say, romantic places in London – and for this night only, you can experience its breathtaking views and enjoy the film with a complimentary glass of champagne and box of popcorn. When? Wednesday 13th February, 9pm admission, 9:30 film starts Buy tickets
