Hello Friends of Felixstowe Library!
I have news of three film recordings of live productions which we are showing here at the library.
Firstly, on Friday 11 March we have Vikings from the British Museum, a private view of the Vikings: Live and Legend exhibition.
Watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zE9WO65dBU
Staged in 2014, it was the first major vikings exhibition at the museum in 30 years. Here the exhibition is brought to life by curator Gareth Williams and historians Bettany Hughes and Michael Wood, alongside experts on Viking ships, swords, burial, beliefs, language and legacy. It includes demonstrations, stunning close-up photography of objects and a torch-lit 'burial' staged in the museum grounds. I personally recommend this; it's well worth seeing.
On Friday 8th April we will be showing another production from Shakespeare's Globe, performed last year: Antony and Cleopatra, starring Clive Wood and Eve Best.
Find out more about the production here:

Cleopatra, the alluring Queen of Egypt, has bewitched the great Mark Antony, soldier, campaigner and now one of the three rulers of the Roman Empire. His infatuation threatens to split the empire in two.
Then on Friday 20th May we will be showing our first musical: Billy Elliot. (cert 15)
Filmed in September 2014 at the Victoria Palace Theatre, London, this production stars Elliott Hanna, Deka Walmsley and Ruthie Henshall.
Set in a northern mining town during the 80s mining strike, this is the inspirational story of Billy Elliot, the young boy who discovers a passion for dance. It features sensational dance and a score by Elton John. Spectacular.
Tickets cost £7.50 for all events. Doors open 6.30pm and the screening starts at 7pm. Tickets for previous productions have sold out fast. Remember we have only 30 spaces for each event. If you would like me to put tickets aside for you to collect before the night let me know asap.
Best wishes
