Dementia Friendly Cinemas have proven to be very therapeutic for people with memory problems and their families. Besides engaging the brain and stimulating emotions, being part of an audience enjoying a film helps people with dementia and their carers to feel less isolated and also challenges the stigma associated with the condition.
All Nostalgic Cinema performances have subtitles to assist full enjoyment of the film by any members of the audience who are hard of hearing.
Whilst promoted as a dementia friendly screening, we hope anyone who loves the old films will come along for an afternoon of fond memories.

ultimate ballet classic.
Prince Siegfried chances upon a flock of swans while out hunting. When one of the swans turns into
a beautiful woman, Odette, he is enraptured. But she is under a spell that holds her captive, allowing
her to regain her human form only at night. Von Rothbart, arbiter of Odette's curse, tricks the Prince

Director: Michael Gracey
Running Time: 2 Hours 24 minutes including trailers
Cast Includes: Robbie Williams, Jonno Davies, Steve Pemberton
Tickets: Adult £8, Under 16's £7
All tickets include a £1 booking fee
Better Man is based on the true story of the meteoric rise, dramatic fall, and remarkable resurgence of British pop superstar Robbie Williams, one of the greatest entertainers of all time.
Under the visionary direction of Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman), the film is uniquely told from Robbie's perspective, capturing his signature wit and indomitable spirit.
It follows Robbie's journey from childhood, to being the youngest member of chart-topping boyband Take That, through to his unparalleled achievements as a record-breaking solo artist -- all the while confronting the challenges that stratospheric fame and success can bring.
Reviews
The most batshit music biopic since Todd Haynes did the Karen Carpenter story with Barbie dolls, Michael Gracey pulls off the biggest cinematic surprise of the year. An absolute blast. Empire Magazine
Gracey's innovative take brings a rare sense of escapism but isn't afraid to tell the darker times of the singer's life...Better Man is a whirlwind trip down memory lane - reminding audiences he can still entertain you. Flick Feast

The Capulets and Montagues are sworn enemies. Yet it is love at first sight for Romeo Montague and
Juliet Capulet when they meet each other at the Capulet ball, into which Romeo has snuck. The two
fall in love and they profess their devotion to each other at Juliet’s balcony. They secretly get
married. The stakes are raised for the young couple when Romeo avenges the death of his friend
Mercutio who has been killed by Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin. For this, Romeo is exiled from Verona.
Meanwhile, Juliet’s parents are forcing her to marry another suitor. In order to be together, Romeo

Creatives:
CHOREOGRAPHY Christopher Wheeldon
CONDUCTOR Koen Kessels
ORCHESTRA Orchestra of the Royal Opera House
MUSIC:
Joby Talbot
Joni Mitchell
Keaton Henson
George Gershwhin
Sensuous contemporary ballet meets the energy of musical theatre in four distinctive short works.
Fool’s Paradise, The Two of Us, Us, An American in Paris: four works showing the remarkable
choreographic range of The Royal Ballet's Artistic Associate, Christopher Wheeldon.
FOOL’S PARADISE
Luminescent and shimmering, Fool’s Paradise marked the first of Wheeldon’s many collaborations
with composer Joby Talbot. It was created in 2007 for Wheeldon’s own company, Morphoses, and
first performed in 2012 by The Royal Ballet.
THE TWO OF US
The wistful songs of Joni Mitchell set the scene for the UK premiere of The Two of Us, a duet of deep
intimacy and yearning. It was created in 2020 for the Fall for Dance Festival in New York, and had
American ballet dancers Sarah Mearns and David Hallberg in its original cast.
US (DUET)
Us is a tender duet danced by two men. It was created in 2017 for BalletBoyz and is set to Keaten
Henson’s music.
AN AMERICAN IN PARIS (BALLET)
The Royal Ballet celebrates Wheeldon’s extraordinary success in musical theatre by performing the
ballet scene from his Tony Award-winning musical An American in Paris. Set to Gershwin’s jazzy
melodies, the musical is inspired by the 1951 film of the same name starring Gene Kelly and Leslie
Caron. The musical went on to win four Tony awards. The full musical depicts a blossoming romance
between the American G.I. Jerry Mulligan and a French ballerina, Lise Dassin. The ballet excerpt was
Wheeldon’s take on one of the most memorable scenes from the film – an extended sequence in
which the two central characters dance through Paris.
