Darlington Hippodrome
is screening a series of classic movies in its beautifully-restored auditorium
during September.
As part of a season of socially-distanced activities Darlington
Hippodrome will be screening a series of classic films throughout September.
There is something for everyone in an eclectic mix of films that will be shown
in the theatre auditorium.
You can sit back, relax and enjoy films ranging from the cult musical Grease
starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton John to the Audrey Hepburn classic
romance Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
Grease kicks off the
season on Thursday 10 September. The film needs no introduction and is
consistently ranked as the best-loved movie musical of all time. On Friday 11
September join Gordie, Chris, Teddy and Vern on their journey of discovery in Stand
By Me. Disney fans can enjoy another trip down Cherry Tree lane with Mary
Poppins on Saturday 12 September.
On Thursday 17 September Audrey Hepburn stars in Breakfast at Tiffany’s
alongside George Peppard in the romantic comedy. Family favourite Matilda
features on the afternoon of Friday 18 September followed by the outrageously
funny This Is Spinal Tap in the evening. The September season of films
comes to a close with Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft in The Graduate
on Thursday 24 September and another Disney classic The Jungle Book on
Friday 25 September.
Councillor Andy Keir said “After six months of
closure it is fabulous news that the Hippodrome is open to the public once more
and, whilst we would all like to see the return of live entertainment on the
stage, this series of classic films will breathe life back into the theatre’s
auditorium.”
It is advised to book early for these film screenings as audience numbers
are limited with social distancing in place throughout the auditorium.
Groups of seats are two+ metres apart following government guidelines.
Groups of seats should only be occupied by members of the same household.
