LOVE ACTUALLY Featuring a stellar cast, Love Actually follows the lives of eight very different couples in dealing with their love lives in various loosely interrelated tales all set during a frantic month before Christmas in London. - Sit back, and gawp at Ideal Britain. Revel in the tipsy plot. And enjoy a film full of adult whimsy and adolescent whingeing. [The Times] - A polished, fluid production with impeccable technical credits and a winning soundtrack, Love Actually is the very definition of entertainment and is guaranteed to bring joy to the world this Christmas. [Screen International] - Forget about stiff upper lips. Though very British, this irresistible ensemble comedy will easily coax full-sized grins of enjoyment from viewers. [People Magazine] - Bittersweet and hilarious, this is lovely, actually. Prepare to be smitten. [BBC.com] Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members] FRIDAY 19 DECEMBER AT 6.30 P.M. TWO BALLETS FOR CHRISTMAS: LES PATINEURS AND A CHRISTMAS CAROL [PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF DATE] Les Patineurs (The Skaters) was choreographed by Frederick Ashton as long ago as 1937. Set on a frozen pond, couples and groups of friends joyfully skate their way through an afternoon: on come the corps de ballet, sliding across the, ice to be followed by rather less expert girls whose inexperience is shown up when a boy in blue comes on and spins, turns and leaps with superb virtuosity. Two no less expert girls who indulge in a multiplicity of spins and pirouettes, and a couple in white dance a lyrical and beautiful adagio. The fun becomes faster and more furious until eventually snow starts to fall and the dancers glide away, leaving the blue boy spinning round and round as the curtain falls. Northern Ballet's A Christmas Carol was a hit when it premiered in 1992, It's a ballet, but also a bit of a musical with the dancers sometimes singing carols, the themes of which wind through Carl Davis's score and it's also a bit panto! The story is faithful to Dickens with the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet-to-Come causing Scrooge to realise that his selfish ways are the cause of his miserable life. Coming face to face with his past, present and future brings him to embrace the joy and wonder of life and celebrate the Christmas season along with the rest of the townsfolk. - This is a ballet to see over and over again to appreciate not only its invention, good humour and variety but also the virtuosity of the dancers involved, not least Steven McRae in the part of the Blue Boy who ends the ballet with a seemingly endless series of pirouettes as the curtain comes down. [MusicWeb International] - This is a superlative, joyous Northern Ballet production of the timeless Dickens Christmas tale. [The Reviews Hub] - A magical night in snow-globe Victoriana! Beautifully staged and danced with bonneted and bewhiskered brio, Dickens's classic dose of festive escapism is the gift that keeps on giving [The Guardian] Admission $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members FORTHCOMING IN 2026 - PROVISIONAL! - Thursday 8 January Moonraker - Friday 9 January Paquita - A Ballet in Two Acts - Thursday 15 January Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stockings - Friday 16 January A Chorus Line - Thursday 22 January Finding Forrester - Friday 23 January Berlin Philharmonic Waldbuhne Concert: A Russian Night (including the 1812 Overture!) - Thursday 29 January Downton Abbey - Friday 30 January Richard Strauss: Der Rosenkavalier
