Event description

Join Mr Drayton as he hosts an evening of celluloid marvel with his customary nonsense and barely credible facts about what you’re about to experience.

There will also be an easy access quiz following the screening with many lamentable prizes.

 

Pink Floyd: The Wall

Featuring a dystopian Christmas chart topper and Bob Geldof sans eyebrows, The Wall is a phantasmagorical trip around Roger Waters battered psyche. Described as “one of the most miserable moments of my career“ by director Alan Parker, The Wall is a slice of post-prog rock excellence.
