| 'Some Like it Hot' Tony Curtis is Joe/Josephine, Jack Lemon is Jerry/Daphne Marilyn Munroe is Sugar Kane Kowalczyk Dartington Outdoor Film Festival Sunday 26 August 8.30pm |
The Tilt Yard (the perfect venue of a summer evening film show) has, sadly, become too waterlogged to be useable. However, the Cinema management have a backup plan.
In the extensive rehearsal complex called 'Dartington Space' there is a perfect place for outdoor films, which is unaffected by rain - the 'Tennis Courts'. The tarmac surface is perfect to seat up to 400 people, and surrounded by verdant ornamental gardens and borders, bounded by a tall box hedge - perfect!
Dartington Cinema Manager, Jim Whittle, has been hard at work rigging up a big screen on the courts, and has provided seating for a capacity audience (but we are welcome to bring our favourite chairs for total self-indulgence!). And if it rains on the night? Jim has the equally comfortable Barn Theatre lined up for an indoor performance - just 100 yards from the courts.
In conjunction with the Totnes Festival, which will be going on in the daytime this week, outdoor films at Dartington are the icing on the cake. Rain or no rain!
