FILMHOUSE Oscar Wilde wrote: ‘All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy.

No man does. That’s his.’

With these words, Ken Wardrop opens this film in which he travels to America to investigate the role mothers play in the lives of Oklahoma’s tough guys. The men come from all walks of life - a war veteran, a prison inmate, a cowboy preacher and a district attorney. Their mothers are just as complicated - spunky, resilient, demanding, generous, and iconoclastic. As these mothers and sons ride horses, shoot guns, and discuss their deepest feelings, Wardrop’s skill for selecting subjects is matched by his ability to draw out moments of emotional intensity, revealing their softer sides.

ROYAL OPERA HOUSE LIVE

MISS SAIGON: 25TH ANNIVERSARY PERFORMANCE

Sun 16 Oct, 7pm Tickets: £15 / £12.50 Conc & Friends

The legendary show comes to the Filmhouse for one night only in this spectacular, sell-out 25th Anniversary Gala Performance of the global stage sensation. The epic love story tells the tragic tale of young bar girl Kim, orphaned by war, who falls in love with American GI Chris – but their lives are torn apart by the fall of Saigon.

The show also features appearances by some of the original cast including Jonathan Pryce and Lea Salonga.

ROYAL OPERA HOUSE LIVE COSI FAN TUTTE How much do you love your partner? How much do you trust them? And can they trust you? Mozart’s classic opera puts two pairs of lovers to the test – with great music but distinctly unexpected results.

Mon 17 Oct, 6.30pm Tickets: £15 / £12.50 Conc & Friends

For this new production, director Jan Philipp Gloger creates a richly theatrical world as the playground for this quirky comedy, where two men try to woo each other’s partners for a bet. Don Alfonso – the puppet master of this experiment in love – uses all the sets, props and tricks of his trade to invent new scenes to challenge the lovers’ affections.

BRANAGH THEATRE LIVE THE ENTERTAINER Set against the backdrop of post-war Britain, John Osborne’s modern classic conjures the seedy glamour of the old music halls for an explosive examination of public masks and private torment.

Rob Ashford directs Kenneth Branagh as Archie Rice in the final production for Plays at the Garrick season.

Thu 27 Oct, 7.15pm Tickets: £14 / £11.50 Conc and Friends

ROYAL OPERA HOUSE LIVE ANASTACIA An identity in crisis; a country in revolution.

Anastasia is a ballet about one of the great historical mysteries of the 20th century, only recently solved.

Wed 2 Nov, 7.15pm Tickets £15 / £12.50 Conc & Friends

At the height of the Russian Revolution the royal family were executed, but afterwards a young woman appeared – apparently a surviving royal princess, the Grand Duchess Anastasia. Known as ‘Anna Anderson’, she couldn’t remember her past and she was presumed to be an imposter. Many wanted to forget the massacre and the Revolution; many believed, or hoped, that a princess could have survived, a remnant of the old world.

ROYAL OPERA HOUSE LIVE LES CONTES D’HOFFMAN The Royal Opera’s lavish production of Offenbach’s masterpiece, is a favourite with audiences. Created by Academy Awardwinning film director John Schlesinger, this production brings alive a 19th-century world of romance, comedy, mystery and menace.

Tue 15 Nov, 6.15pm Tickets: £15 / £12.50 Conc & Friends

At the centre of these extraordinary tales of clockwork dolls, magical glasses, ghostly voices and sensual courtesans is the vivid imagination of the drunken romantic poet Hoffmann. Charismatic young tenor Vittorio Grigolo is Hoffmann – compelled to tell the story of his lovers who, he believes, have all been stolen by a succession of arch villains.

ALAN BENNETT’S DIARIES LIVE + EXCLUSIVE Q&A This unmissable live event takes a candid look into the mind of Alan Bennett, Britain’s best-loved writer, who, at 82, shows no signs of slowing down.

Wed 16 Nov, 8pm Tickets: £14 / £11.50 Conc & Friends

It will include a screening of Alan Bennett’s Diaries, a new film about the writer, followed by an exclusive Q&A with Alan Bennett from his local community library in Primrose Hill.

Inspired by his acerbic and often hilarious diaries, the film shows Alan as he’s never been seen before.

ROYAL OPERA HOUSE LIVE THE NUTCRACKER The Royal Ballet’s glorious production of The Nutcracker, created by Peter Wright in 1984, is the production par excellence of an all-time ballet favourite.

Thu 8 Dec, 7.15pm Sun 11 Dec, 2pm Thu 15 Dec, 7.15pm Tickets: £15 / £12.50 Conc & Friends

It is Christmas Eve and Drosselmeyer the magician sweeps young Clara away on a fantasy adventure in which time is suspended, the family living room becomes a great battlefield, and a magical journey takes them through the Land of Snow to the Kingdom of Sweets.

ALL’OPERA COPPELIA This 19th century classic is an enchanting tale about a mechanical doll made by the toy-maker Dr. Coppelius. The doll is so life-like that some believe she is his daughter and the mistake leads to intrigue and jealousy in love.

Sun 15 Jan (2017), 7pm Tickets: £15 / £12.50 Conc & Friends

Seduced by the disturbing and dramatic atmospheres of Hoffmann’s tale, Mauro Bigonzetti interprets the rich score by Delibes as a web of illusion, deception, reality and memories. He’s coupled this with confusion and ambiguity from the eyes and gazes of the performers that will perplex audiences towards a point of no return.

ALL’OPERA MANON LESCAUT María José Siri and Gregory Kunde star as the ill-fated lovers at the centre of Manon Lescaut, Puccini’s passionate adaptation of the classic novel about a free-spirited country girl who becomes the toast of Paris and finds herself torn between true love and a life of luxury.

Tue 14 Mar (2017), 7pm Tickets: £15 / £12.50 Conc & Friends

The opera had its debut in 1893 and was Puccini’s first major triumph - a hit with critics and audiences alike. It was with this work that Puccini revealed himself 124 years ago on the very same stage of the Teatro Regio Turino as an operatic composer on a par with Verdi.
