THE DEATH OF STALIN (Armando Iannucci, 2018, Cert 15) Conc Ticket + Veggie Pizza

We are absolutely delighted to be working with the Wild Card Taprooms and Yard Sale Pizza to bring you our award-winning pop-up cinema in another exciting venue. We kick off the New Year in our first horror/grotesque/thriller genre programme with this modern classic.

Combining palace intrigue with rapid-fire farce, this audacious comedy is a bitingly funny takedown of bureaucratic dysfunction performed to the hilt by a sparkling ensemble cast.

When tyrannical dictator Joseph Stalin dies in 1953, his parasitic cronies square off in a frantic power struggle to become the next Soviet leader. Among the contenders are the dweebish Georgy Malenkov, the wily Nikita Khrushchev and Lavrenti Beria -- the sadistic secret police chief. As they bumble, brawl and back-stab their way to the top, the question remains -- just who is running the government?

Doors open 7.15pm, Film 8.00pm, Finish 10.00pm

Refreshments:

The Wild Card bar will be open as usual. We will be serving freshly made popcorn and ice-creams.

12" Margherita or Holy Pepperoni pizzas can be pre-ordered by 1pm Tuesday 29th and will be delivered fresh to the site for you to enjoy with the film.

Ticket (conc) + Veggie Pizza: £15.25 + booking fee
