The last days of Oscar Wilde
In a cheap Parisian hotel room Oscar Wilde (Rupert Everett) lies on his deathbed. The past floods back, taking him to other times and places. He reviews the failed attempt to reconcile with his long-suffering wife Constance, the ensuing reprisals of his fatal love affair with Lord Alfred Douglas and the warmth and devotion of Robbie Ross (Colin Firth), who tried and failed to save him from himself. As Wilde relives his travels through England, France and Italy, the transience of lust is laid bare and the true riches of love revealed.
“This film is a deeply felt, tremendously acted tribute to courage” Peter , The Guardian, Jan 2018.

Monday 8 July 2019 8:00pm The Croft Hall
Directed by Nik Partridge
In some people’s lives there is a moment when something goes wrong, when they do something very bad, something that poisons their life for good.
In a small village, the last remaining members of the dwindling church committee gather to discuss its future. At this critical meeting, Tom, a contentious nomination to join the committee, is put forward. Caught with indecent images of children on his computer, Tom has been to prison and is now on the sex offenders register. Whilst many of the community can’t forgive him, one committee member proposes that Tom is given a second chance.
When the impact of the past collides with the future of a village community, is forgiveness ever possible? A powerful and captivating new drama that explores, from multiple points of view, what it means to live a haunted life.
This play contains themes of a sensitive and potentially distressing nature. Parental discretion recommended.
Kindly sponsored by The Sackler Trust, Principal Supporter of Watermill Rural Touring

When their quiet life is interrupted by a friendly bear a new chapter begins. But why has the bear chosen them as playfellows? Why is there sadness in his eyes? And who on earth is that rude little man with a ridiculously long beard that they keep bumping in to?

Film Night: Happy Prince (Certificate 15)
Sunday 7 July 2019 8:00pm The Croft Hall
The last days of Oscar Wilde
In a cheap Parisian hotel room Oscar Wilde (Rupert Everett) lies on his deathbed. The past floods back, taking him to other times and places. He reviews the failed attempt to reconcile with his long-suffering wife Constance, the ensuing reprisals of his fatal love affair with Lord Alfred Douglas and the warmth and devotion of Robbie Ross (Colin Firth), who tried and failed to save him from himself. As Wilde relives his travels through England, France and Italy, the transience of lust is laid bare and the true riches of love revealed.
“This film is a deeply felt, tremendously acted tribute to courage” Peter , The Guardian, Jan 2018.

The Watermill Theatre: OUR CHURCH By Marietta Kirkbride
Monday 8 July 2019 8:00pm The Croft Hall
Directed by Nik Partridge
In some people’s lives there is a moment when something goes wrong, when they do something very bad, something that poisons their life for good.
In a small village, the last remaining members of the dwindling church committee gather to discuss its future. At this critical meeting, Tom, a contentious nomination to join the committee, is put forward. Caught with indecent images of children on his computer, Tom has been to prison and is now on the sex offenders register. Whilst many of the community can’t forgive him, one committee member proposes that Tom is given a second chance.
When the impact of the past collides with the future of a village community, is forgiveness ever possible? A powerful and captivating new drama that explores, from multiple points of view, what it means to live a haunted life.
This play contains themes of a sensitive and potentially distressing nature. Parental discretion recommended.
Kindly sponsored by The Sackler Trust, Principal Supporter of Watermill Rural Touring
