With excellent reviews, we can anticipate lyricism and emotion in her performance of an often outrageous, and bizarre array of samples from the Italian Renaissance. Her short commentaries about the composers, their music, style and performance tradition, enhance an exciting programme.Return to top of page Saturday 30 JulySunday 31 JulyHenry’s Film Club: A Man for all SeasonsSir Thomas More finds himself torn between loyalty to King Henry VIII and his Catholic faith in this 1966 British production directed by Fred Zinnemann. Paul Scofield as Thomas More, is magnificent, and well supported by a star studded cast. This beautiful film deservedly won 6 Oscars plus Best British Film. Where better to see this tale of Tudor politics but at Acton Court. 16 mm film. A Man For All Seasons Return to top of page Previous pageNext page |
