All tickets purchased for the original dates are now being refunded in full (cash purchasers should call at the Box Office with their tickets). Customers who would like to buy tickets for the same seats on the same day of the week (30 April-4 May) should contact the Box Office before Monday 8 April. Customers not wishing to re-book do not need to take any further action. Tickets for the new dates will go on open sale on Monday 8 April. Rope, is by Patrick Hamilton and directed by Jo Kearns. For the sake of adventure, danger and the ‘fun of the thing’ Wyndham Brandon persuades his weak-minded friend to assist him in the murder of a fellow undergraduate. They place the body in a chest and then invite people to a supper party using the chest as the dining table.

David Huntley, Manager of the Glebe: gives us this great news. Congratulations to him and all the people who made it happen: The Glebe Hurstpierpoint, part of the Anchor-Hanover group, has won a top prize out of almost 25,000 retirement housing schemes nationwide awarded by the Elderly Accommodation Counsel for 2019. Specialist housing for older people plays an enormously significant role in helping them stay independent for longer. The security, support and great communities have a positive impact on older people and reduces the need for NHS services. David Ashton, Chairman of the Glebe Residents Association speaking on behalf of the residents said they were all delighted to hear that The Glebe had won this award. We really enjoy living here and it is great to see that The EAC awards recognise that it is among the best there is.

Collin must make it through his final three days of probation for a chance at a new beginning. He and his troublemaking childhood best friend, Miles, work as movers and are forced to watch their old neighborhood become a trendy spot in the rapidly gentrifying Bay Area. When a life-altering event causes Collin to miss his mandatory curfew, the two men struggle to maintain their friendship as the changing social landscape exposes their differences. A timely and wildly entertaining story about friendship and the intersection of race and class set against the backdrop of Oakland, blending buddy comedy with seething social commentary in a way that hasn’t been done on screen since Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing.

Sunday 28 April 2019, 3pm Swimming with Men (12a) - UK/2018/95mins, All tickets £4. His job is a drag, his wife may be cheating on him, and he’s not getting any younger. Accountant Eric (Rob Brydon) is simply treading water when he discovers a newfound sense of purpose thanks to an unexpected source: a group of similarly stuck-in-a-rut guys who have found camaraderie and self-worth through synchronized swimming. Sure, they may be a bit paunchy, but they’re determined to prove they have what it takes to be a whirling, twirling, scissor-kicking aquatic dream team. And they’ve set their sights on the ultimate prize: the world championship. All star cast including Rob Brydon, Jim Carter (Downtown Abbey), Rupert Graves and Jane Horrocks.
