Monday 13th April – The Lady in the Van: 100Mins
 

A warm, witty and gently moving true story starring Maggie Smith at her very best. When a cantankerous and eccentric woman parks her van in a London driveway, what begins as a temporary arrangement turns into an unexpected 15-year relationship. Full of sharp humour and touching moments, this is a charming and beautifully observed tale of kindness, companionship and the complexities of human nature.

​

Monday 20th April – See how they Run
 

Set in 1950s London, this stylish and witty whodunnit
takes us behind the scenes of a long-running West End play that suddenly becomes the centre of a real-life murder investigation. When a key member of the production is found dead, a world-weary inspector and an eager young constable are drawn into a wonderfully tangled mystery.
With a colourful cast of suspicious characters, sharp humour and plenty of twists along the way, See How They Run is a playful homage to classic British murder mysteries. Light, entertaining and full of charm, it’s the perfect way to start the week.

 

Monday 27th April – The Thursday Murder Club: 120 Mins
 

A sharp, witty and thoroughly entertaining mystery based on the bestselling novel. When a group of residents in a peaceful retirement village meet weekly to discuss unsolved crimes, they soon find themselves caught up in a real-life
murder investigation. Packed with humour, charm and clever twists, this is a delightful whodunnit with plenty of heart.
