Drawing Room Silents - Harold Lloyd - Safety Last!

Thu 7th Dec

19.30

With its torrent of perfectly executed gags and astonishing stunts,  Harold Lloyd’s Safety Last! is one of the most heart-in-mouth films of all time.

Lloyd plays a small-town bumpkin trying to make it in the big city. Finding employment as a lowly department store clerk, he struggles to keep his job, whilst boasting of a big promotion in letters home to his sweetheart, Mildred. Then he comes up with a wild publicity stunt to draw attention to the store!

Screened in its 100th anniversary year, with live accompaniment by Martyn Niele

Tickets £12, Members £10,  Under 16's £8.00
