Starts Friday! Don't miss this "open-hearted tribute" to Leonard Cohen with never-before-seen archival materials from the Cohen Trust!
“This majestic, almost symphonic documentary… an account of how ‘Hallelujah’ has become a receptacle into which new generations of singers pour their musical souls. Like the song, whose title contains an affirmation…the film affirms the value and power of making art.” – Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal
“Explores the mysterious beauty of Leonard Cohen through that one song. An affectionate tribute.” – The Wrap
Tickets on sale through July!
A delightfully deadpan comedy with plenty of heart, WILD MEN proves there's still much to be mined from the male midlife crisis.
In a desperate attempt to cure his midlife crisis, Martin has fled his family to live high up in the Norwegian mountains, hunting and gathering like his ancestors did thousands of years ago.
"Wickedly funny... Underscoring this film are potent themes about masculinity, identity and self-expression. Also a fair bit of action, and not just of the mountain adventure variety." - Eye on Film
Four shows! July 22 - 24!

John Carpenter's rarely screened PRINCE OF DARKNESS plays two nights only!
Poking around in a church cellar, a priest (Donald Pleasence) finds an otherworldly vial filled with slime. Frightened, he brings his discovery to a circle of top scholars and scientists, who eventually learn that the strange liquid is the essence of Satan.
"Maybe the director's most underrated film. Close to a decade's experience in horror pays off, with Carpenter working the audience with jump-scares and revolting demises like an old pro. But the true achievement is a sense of ecstatic entropy and corruption that seeps out of every pore." - The Guardian
July 22 & 27. Get tickets now!
Justin Martin directs this solo tour de force, captured live from the intimate Harold Pinter Theatre in London’s West End.
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.
"West End debuts don’t come much more astonishing than this" - Daily Telegraph
"Jodie Comer takes the stage by storm" - The Times
"Extraordinarily gutsy." - Evening Standard
Opens Thursday July 28!
