Great British Romance
to
It's time to celebrate a very British kind of romance!
The Star and Shadow presents four films - two period dramas, two contemporary to production - that straddle WWII and span the country.
These films will break your heart in a rather matter-of-fact, stiff upper-lipped, brooding way. There's little scope for a happy ending when it comes to Great British Romance!
Price for each film is £5 (full price) / £3.50 (concessions) OR £4.50 advance tickets online here http://www.wegottickets.com/searchresults
