After the enthusiastic response to our previous edition, we are thrilled to bring back our Queer Members Mixer event, just in time to round out this year's Pride Month!
Join us from 19:30 to mingle with fellow members in the Garden Bar - all are welcome, whether you're queer, questioning, or a raging ally. We'll be foregoing our usual playlist in favour of Chappell Roan and Céline Dion, and to get the conversation moving (or your feet - whatever you're into), your first drink is included in the ticket price!
As it's a Friday, a musical would only be appropriate, so at 21:00 we'll head into the screen for the original film adaption of La Cage Aux Folles.
Tickets are restricted to 2 per member, and available for just £12.50, which will include a token for a complimentary glass of vermouth (wine, beer, or soft drinks also available, if you're not feeling the summery vibe yet). Seating for the screening will be unallocated.
About the film:
Renato (Ugo Tognazzi) and Albin (Michel Serrault) - a middle-aged gay couple who are the manager and star performer at a glitzy drag club in Saint-Tropez - agree to hide their sexual identities, along with their flamboyant personalities and home decor, when the ultraconservative parents of Renato’s son’s fiancée come for a visit. This elegant comic scenario kicks off a wild and warmhearted French farce about the importance of nonconformity and being true to oneself. A breakout art-house smash in America, Edouard Molinaro’s La Cage aux Folles inspired a major Broadway musical and the blockbuster remake The Birdcage. But with its hilarious performances and ahead-of-its-time social message, there’s nothing like the audacious, dazzling original movie.
