At The Garrick

World-class theatre from London now showing in Altrincham!

Saturday 1 July

7:30pm

& Friday 14 July

7:30pm

Written and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Killing Eve) and directed by Vicky Jones, Fleabag is a rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life. Following a box-office record-breaking run in cinemas in 2019, the one-woman show returns to cinemas to the big screen this summer.

Fleabag may seem oversexed, emotionally unfiltered and self-obsessed, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. With family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig café struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose.

Oh, what a beautiful day! This July, the magic and energy of National Theatre’s acclaimed, Olivier Awardwinning production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! is coming to the Garrick Cinema and will be shown as though live on the big screen in our Main Auditorium. Starring then–newcomer Hugh Jackman (Les Misérables, The Greatest Showman) as Curly, alongside Maureen Lipman, Josefina Gabrielle and Shuler Hensley, this riveting stage production was filmed during its record–breaking 1998 run in London.

Directed by theatre legend Trevor Nunn (CATS, Les Misérables) with new choreography by Susan Stroman, Oklahoma! features some of musical theatre’s most delightfully hummable songs, including “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’,” “The Surrey With The Fringe On Top” and the joyous title tune, “Oklahoma”. Now one of the most beloved musicals ever to grace the stage is coming to the big screen 80 years after it first premiered on Broadway. Grab your friends and ride your surrey to the Garrick Cinema!

“What a beautiful, strong and sensitive show. Totally moved.”

"The whole staging, choreography and performance was electrifying…we were glued to our seats."

Chantry Dance presents a matter of time - a mesmerising triple bill exploring our relationship with time created by award-winning producers and choreographers Rae Piper and Paul Chantry in collaboration with innovative director-choreographer Kristian Cunningham.

GHOST DANCES is danced to Nicholas Maw's 1988 suite. A woman journeys through the past, present and future where the allusive 'ghosts' of the title are her fractured dreams and memories. She learns to reconcile the uncertainty of the future with lessons of the past to fully appreciate the present.

ARIADNE’S LAMENT is set to Roman poet Catullus' carmen 64. Ariadne laments Theseus abandoning her and faces a desolate future. The work considers how certain human situations remain relevant no matter when they occur.

IN TIME OF DAFFODILS is danced to Chanticleer's musical setting of ee cummings' poem. This evocative piece is a reminder of the simple things in life - the goal of living is to grow.

Tickets: Full Price £16.00 Concessions £14.00
