It is nice to see Culture at the Cinema screening a comedy once in a while, and this month’s offering is a cracker.
‘Jack Absolute Flies Again’ is a rollicking new comedy by Richard Bean (‘One Man, Two Guvnors’) and Oliver Chris (‘Twelfth Night’), and will be showing at Camana Bay Cinema on Saturday, 15 Oct.
Plot
After an aerial dog fight, Pilot Officer Jack Absolute flies home to win the heart of his old flame, Lydia Languish. Back on British soil, Jack’s advances soon turn to anarchy when the young heiress demands to be loved on her own, very particular, terms.
Emily Burns directs this spectacularly entertaining new version of Sheridan’s ‘The Rivals’. Featuring a cast including Caroline Quentin, Laurie Davidson, Natalie Simpson and Kelvin Fletcher.
It seems that now, more than ever, we could all use a laugh, and this show could be just the ticket. Culture at the Cinema presents a recorded live stage production each month, so audience members can feel as though they are right there in the theatre. It’s the closest experience to the real thing, but without the cost of airline tickets and hotel.
