A seasoned performer must plan for her future when her show abruptly closes after a 30-year run. Starring Pamela Anderson, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Dave Bautista.

Most films set in Las Vegas centre on the high-wattage neon glow of The Strip. But the latest from Gia Coppola turns that tradition around, showing us a story from behind the lights, with a captivating and affecting lead performance by Pamela Anderson.

Shelley (Anderson) has been a Las Vegas showgirl for over 30 years, the feather and crystal–adorned centrepiece of Sin City’s last remaining traditional floor show. The stage and the women she shares it with are her loving, bickering, sequin-clad family. When the stage manager Eddie (Dave Bautista, an island of masculinity in a sea of women) announces the show will close permanently in two weeks, Shelley and her co-workers must make decisions for their future. But the future looks different when you are 50 rather than 20, and your sole job skill is dancing.

Emotionally floundering, Shelley tries to reconnect with a daughter she hardly knows, which proves just as difficult as losing the only job she has ever had. Bolstered by her best friend Annette (Jamie Lee Curtis), a brash cocktail waitress who laughs a little too loud and too often, Shelley must find her place in a world that she shut the (stage) door on years before.

Coppola’s camera slyly but gently goes everywhere with her characters, capturing the childlike bewilderment on Shelley’s face as she absorbs news, and the heartbreaking compassion emanating from Eddie’s eyes as he delivers it. The director’s capable hand with a superb company of actors highlights the all-too-human sensitivities behind the harsh glare of those famous neon signs and stage lights.

Filmmaker Bong Joon-ho’s much anticipated followup to his Academy Award winning film Parasite is an English-language science fiction black comedy. Robert Pattinson stars as Mickey, an “expendable” employee who regenerates a new body every time he dies.

David Wright never planned to be a baker. Though it was his family business, he decided to travel, to study and to pursue a life in film or theatre. But 12 years ago he was drawn back to Woodbridge and became a third generation baker, overseeing The Cake Shop on the Thoroughfare in the town.

He sought to bring about changes and also took part in national competitions and television programmes to highlight all that he and his team could offer customers in Suffolk and beyond.

Sadly it wasn't enough to save the business and The Cake Shop closed.

David now teaches baking and chocolate-making at Pump Street in Orford, and he has written this book touching on the story of his family business in the wider context of bread being the food of life.

He explores bread in different cultures and different times, showing how it's an essential part of our story, our health and our very existence. He explains the science of how bread is made, and why it's so good for us. He highlights how the way we treat and sustain the natural resources and ingredients of bread impacts the health and future of our planet. He tells us about the lifestyle of bakers, the physical and mental toll, and how the prices we pay for bread in our supermarkets are not viable - and come with a very different cost.

This is a passionate tale urging us all to change our attitude to bread today to support traditional bakeries, to regain our delight in the flavours and to ensure we benefit from its role in our diet and lifestyle.

His book is compelling. It's very readable and both poignant and humorous in parts. David shares his own thoughts and opinions clearly and engagingly and he also brings us comments from many familiar names - leading chefs, farmers and campaigners whom he has interviewed in researching the book. It's hugely informative, entertaining and enlightening throughout. A very personal commentary on David's own experience, the book also offers up his proposal for protecting the future for baking as a whole, and he urges us all to think carefully about the choices we make as consumers.

David will be in conversation with Catherine Larner, answering questions from the audience and signing copies of his book 'Breaking Bread' in this very special evening event.

Tickets are £20 (including a copy of 'Breaking Bread') and one further ticket may be purchased for £12 (without the book).

The Paiva family are shattered when Ernesto is abducted by the military junta and Eunice (renowned Brazilian actor Fernanda Torres) must lead their family and fight for justice. Salles’ adaptation of Marcelo Rubens Paiva’s 2015 memoir is a profoundly moving portrait of resistance – the intelligent and humane kind of cinema we have come to expect from the director of Central Station and The Motorcycle Diaries.

Drawing on Chinese and Italian theatrical tradition to evoke a richly-imagined, mythical Peking, Andrei Șerban’s dazzling production is a ‘blazing masterpiece’ (Financial Times). Rafael Payare and Francesco Ivan Ciampa conduct Puccini’s opera of love and revenge, with Sondra Radvanovsky and Ewa Płonka sharing the title role and SeokJong Baek and Gwyn Hughes Jones sharing the role of Calaf.

In the final months of his life Puccini struggled to depict Calaf's triumph: he died before finishing the final act of this grand opera. Turandot was completed by Franco Alfano two years later and given its premiere in 1926 at La Scala, Milan.

Turandot has gone on to have great worldwide success.
