At the peak of his powers, Charles Dickens composed this shocking tale of murder, greed, and obsession centred on the courtship of two ravishingly beautiful, but starkly different women. Ever fond of ironic symbols, Dickens creates a world where money is made from mammoth dust heaps and from corpses fished from the Thames.
“A sumptuous adaptation of Charles Dickens’ last novel, easily establishes itself among the very best. Visually stunning, no other series more accurately captures the feeling of Dickens’ England, from the waterfront sets to the huge ensemble cast of oddballs, scum, slime and heroes.”  [IMDb]
“At close to six hours, this version of Our Mutual Friend is a long production, but not a moment too long. A mystery, a love story, a critique of the pursuit of wealth and status, this is perhaps the best adaptation of Dickens ever to be committed to film.”  [Simon Leake, Amazon.com]

Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members]

Supper available from 6.15 p.m.

The idea for ‘Hansel and Gretel’ was proposed to Humperdinck by his sister, who approached him about writing music for songs that she had written for her children for Christmas. These eventually resulted in an opera that has been associated with Christmas since its earliest performances – the first was on 23 December 1893.
“No singers today play Hansel and Gretel more convincingly or sing them more enchantingly than Frederica von Stade and Judith Blegen.”  [New York Daily News]
“Delightful production with two great leads who actually convince that they are children. Rosalind Elias is excellent as the witch. This is very much a chocolate box production – which is probably what the composer intended!”
