Royal Opera House Live: Madama Butterfly
190 mins.
‘Love cannot kill: it brings new life.’
On a starlit night in Nagasaki, these are the words spoken by American naval officer Pinkerton to young geisha Cio-Cio-San. But as they both learn, words and promises carelessly spoken can have indelible consequences.
With a score that includes Butterfly’s aria, Un bel dì, vedremo (One fine day) and the Humming Chorus, Giacomo Puccini’s opera is entrancing and ultimately heart-breaking. Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier’s exquisite production takes inspiration from 19th-century European images of Japan.
Sung in Italian with English subtitles.

National Theatre Live: Prima Facie (15)
125 mins
Written by Suzie Miller
Directed by Justin Martin
Jodie Comer’s (Killing Eve) Olivier and Tony Award-winning performance in Suzie Miller’s gripping one-woman play returns to cinemas.
Tessa is a young, brilliant barrister. She has worked her way up from working class origins to be at the top of her game; defending; cross examining and winning. An unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law, burden of proof and morals diverge.
Prima Facie takes us to the heart of where emotion and experience collide with the rules of the game.
Justin Martin directs this solo tour de force, captured live in 2022 during a sold out run at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London’s West End.

Wilding (PG)
Dir: David Allen 2023 | 75 mins
A wonderfully hopeful story of ecological regeneration. At Knepp Castle in Sussex, Isabella Tree and Charlie Burrell abandoned industrial farming practices and allowed nature to ‘rewild’ their 3,500-acre estate.
The first scheme of its kind in Britain, it became one of the most significant rewilding experiments in all of Europe. Knepp is now home to thriving flora and fauna of all kinds.
‘Nature is healing in this soul-enhancing, hopeful ode to the British countryside’ ★★★★ Time Out
