Academy Award winner Hilary Swank (Million Dollar Baby) and heart-throb Gerard
Butler (The Phantom of the Opera, 300) star in this season’s most touching
romantic comedy, based on the best selling novel by Cecelia Ahern. Swank is
Holly Kennedy; beautiful, smart and married to the love of her life – a
passionate, funny and impetuous Irishman named Gerry (Gerard Butler). So when
Gerry’s life is taken by an illness, it takes the life out of Holly. Nobody
knows Holly better than Gerry so it’s a good thing he planned ahead. 'Silver

'Barry
Norman's Favourite Films'
Clive Conway Celebrity Productions,
The arrival of a fabulous digital projector at the Marine
Theatre is just in time to show clips from Barry Norman’s favourite
films. At this evening on Friday 25th April at 8.00 pm Barry Norman will
show some of his favourite scenes while he talks about the stars of the
silver screen, most of whom he has interviewed. The evening includes an
opportunity to chat with Britain's best loved reviewer. Tickets for this
opportunity to see the new silver screen at the Marine Theatre are for
sale from Lyme’s Tourist Information centre 01297 442138 at £13.50,
£12.50 for concessions. As presenter of the BBC's cinema review for 26
years, Barry Norman became a household name and this is a unique
opportunity for the theatre-going film lover to meet the man who has so
many great stories to tell and to ask him questions.
He tells riveting anecdotes about film stars such as Richard
Burton and his wife, Elizabeth Taylor,
Peter Sellers and
John Wayne. Bob Hoskins also features in his stories. Margie Barbour, the
Artistic Director of the Marine Theatre worked with Bob Hoskins as the Assistant
Stage Manager on a television series to help adults learn to read called “On the
Move” “I am particularly keen to hear Barry’s stories of working with Bob as he
was such fun on the series “On the Move” where he played someone who couldn’t
read; he made the filming a real fun experience, and then, of course, he was
just breaking into the business, he hadn’t made “Pennies from Heaven” or “Who
framed Roger Rabbit”.
The evening
should be a great treat for all film lover, particularly the regulars at the
silver screen showings at Lyme’s Regent Cinema. With stories about Robert De
Niro, Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Michelle Pfeiffer, Ewan McGregor, Bruce
Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger and, as they say
in the movie blurbs, a cast of hundreds.

'The Lady of Burma'
With Liana
Mau Tan Gould as Aung San Suu Kyi.
'She is
my pin-up! She inspires me with her gentle determination… Men, armed to the
teeth, are running scared of her. She has won, and they know they have
lost.'
Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu on Aung San Suu Kyi
Following sell out performances at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and
London's Old Vic, Soho Theatre, and most recently Riverside Studios, the
inspirational true story of Burmese leader Aung San Suu Kyi is touring the
UK in Spring 2008.
Politician, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, mother and grandmother, Aung San Suu
Kyi is the leader of the democratically-elected government of Burma, yet has
endured house arrest for over a decade. Whatever you know or think about
Burmese politics, THE LADY OF BURMA offers an intense and moving insight
into the endurance of one woman's sacrifice and spirited-determination in
the quest for the freedom of a nation.
Co-director and writer Richard Shannon wrote THE LADY OF BURMA for actress
Liana Gould to perform at a fundraising gala for the Burma Campaign UK at
the Old Vic in November 2006. The play's text draws upon a mixture of
sources, from Suu Kyi's own words and interviews Shannon undertook with her
close associates in Burma to written material about Burma and Suu Kyi's
history. Co-director Owen Lewis' credits include Johnson and Boswell:
Late But Live by Stewart Lee (Traverse Theatre and forthcoming national
tour) and What Would Judas Do and
Got To Be Happy (The Bush Theatre). The
play enthralled audiences during Edinburgh Fringe
Festival in 2007 and a performance at Soho Theatre in
October followed as part of an International Day of Action for Burma, just
as Suu Kyi's home nation erupted in protest at the decades of civil rights
abuse. A performance recently took place at the House of Commons, and one
is planned at the European Parliament in Brussels. This is the first UK
Tour and it is produced by James Seabright and Louise Chantal, in
association with the Burma Campaign UK.
