GIANT, filmed live at London’s Harold Pinter Theatre !

The play is currently playing on Broadway and has been nominated for 4 Tony Awards including Best Play and Leading Actor for John Lithgow.

A world-famous children’s author under threat, a battle of wills in the wake of scandal and one chance to make amends, GIANT tells the story of Roald Dahl and the true scandal that shook his legacy. GIANT stars Tony, Golden Globe, and Olivier Award-winner John Lithgow (Conclave, The Crown) as author Roald Dahl; Aya Cash (The Boys, The Franchise, You’re the Worst) as US Publisher Jessie Stone; Olivier Award-winner Elliot Levey (Cold War, Patriots, Good) as Tom Maschler, Dahl’s British Jewish Publisher; Olivier Award-nominee Rachael Stirling (The Divine Mrs S) as Felicity Crosland, Roald Dahl’s fiancée; Tessa Bonham Jones (Dune: Prophecy, The Young Woman and the Sea) as Hallie; and Richard Hope (Hijack) as Wally Saunders, Dahl’s handyman.

It’s the summer of 1983, The Witches is about to hit the shelves and Roald Dahl is making last-minute edits. But the outcry at his recent, explicitly antisemitic article won’t die down. Across a single afternoon at his family home, and rocked by an unexpectedly explosive confrontation, Dahl is forced to choose: make a public apology or risk his name and reputation.

Inspired by real events, GIANT explores with dark humour the difference between considered opinion and dangerous rhetoric offering a complicated portrait of a fiendishly charismatic icon.

John Lithgow says: ‘I play the central character of Roald Dahl, a man of dizzying complexity, on a day of crisis in his life. The story takes place forty years ago, but it resonates powerfully with events of our present day. No play I’ve ever been in has had such an impact on audiences.'

“My most – Indeed my only – political film.” That was how visionary director Ken Russell described his incendiary 1971 masterpiece … Yet since opening to divisive reviews 55 years ago, Russell’s masterpiece has never been released as he intended … The story The Devils tells is an engrossing one, inspired by extraordinary real-life events that climaxed in the public burning of a priest, Urbain Grandier, in the French city of Loudun in 1634 … Despite their apparently fantastical nature, the historical facts behind The Devils are well documented … Most celebrated of the many accounts, however, is Aldous Huxley’s 1952 classic The Devils of Loudun, which is credited as the source of Russell’s movie, alongside John Whiting’s stage-play The Devils, which was first performed by the RSC in 1961. Russell was “knocked out” by Huxley’s book, and wanted his film to inspire a similarly powerful reaction in audiences. For him, this was “a story about brainwashing”. Despite having converted to Catholicism many years earlier, Russell was confident that the events at Loudun had nothing to do with demons or the supernatural and everything to do with political corruption and weaponised hysteria … Shot at Pinewood Studios on awe-inspiringly pristine sets designed by fledgling artist Derek Jarman, The Devils was a controversial project from the outset … Russell’s original vision proved to be ahead of its time, with key sequences deemed too intense for its contemporary viewers. Most notably, a sequence in which a very public display of alleged “demonic possession” climaxed in hysterical nuns tearing down and ravaging a giant crucifix was excised in its entirety, alongside other edits made for the UK release, with further cuts for American audiences. For Russell, these alterations were heartbreaking because, as he told me in 2002, the deleted material not only contained “some of my finest work”, but also encapsulated the thematic heart of the film – a pantomime spectacle of blasphemy that is paraded out for corrupt political purposes … This is the version of The Devils that Ken Russell hoped would one day be available to international audiences – a fearless masterpiece that is even more relevant in these “post-truth” times than it was when Russell first conjured its unforgettably fiery excesses.

Andrea Arnold’s highly acclaimed film, winner of top prizes at Cannes and the BFI London Film Festival, is a haunting drama about a woman confronting past demons.

Jackie (Kate Dickie) is a CCTV operator and gets a perverse satisfaction from observing the lives of other; until one day a man from her past appears on her monitors - one whom she never wanted to see again. Now she has no alternative but to confront both the man, and the demons inside herself.

Andrea Arnold's (Fish Tank, Wuthering Heights) superb debut feature was the first in a planned trilogy of Scotland-set films produced by Lars Von Trier’s Zentropa company. The winners of numerous awards including major prizes at Cannes and the BFI London Film Festival, it was also voted one of the best British films of the last 25 years in a poll conducted by The Observer’s Film Quarterly.

The Garfunkels are back at the Riverside!

After their sold out show in January 2026, The Garfunkels are super excited to be back for another show this December at the Riverside.

A bit about The Garfunkels:

“There was one small problem - neither of us wanted to be Paul Simon. To make it work, one of us was going to have to get a hair cut. And that simply wasn’t going to happen”

Not many 20 year old lads think of starting a Simon & Garfunkel tribute act - but Suffolk-based musicians Tom Mumford and Angelo Littler did exactly that.

The Garfunkels’ set is a celebration of Simon & Garfunkel’s  music and story. With rich harmonies and engaging storytelling, you can expect to hear the most iconic songs over the years - from the debut album Wednesday Morning 3AM’ to bestselling, award wining ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’.
