Celebrating bringing films to Stafford for over 70 years
Our Spring 2023 season
starts on 7 February 2023
in the Gatehouse Theatre, Eastgate Street, Stafford.
The Banshees of Inisherin
Tuesday The Banshees of Inisherin Director : Martin McDonagh Running Time: 114 mins Country/Year: Ireland 2022
|
Martin McDonagh (Three Billboards) reunites the two unforgettable stars from In Bruges, Brendon Gleeson and Colin Farrell, in his latest offering, not surprisingly tipped for Oscar success. Exquisitely constructed and beautifully filmed, it oscillates between humour, heartbreak and the occasionally horrific. Set in 1923 on a beautiful but isolated island off the west coast of Galway, the storyline centres on two lifelong friends, one of whom decides to sever this bond, a decision which escalates to shocking levels. Is this is a microcosm of the mainland conflict, where a country is now at war with itself, having been previously united in the War of Independence?

A message from Graeme Sillitoe, Chair of the Stafford Film Theatre.Many of our loyal members and guests at our Autumn season performances will be all too aware that some of our film presentations in the Gatehouse Theatre have not been of the the technical quality we normally expect. Sadly, this has been due to technical and organisational issues within the Gatehouse Theatre itself. We have approached the Gatehouse Management with a detailed list of these shortcomings, which have included things like running a streamed copy of the film rather than the full professional digital version which we have expected and paid for, leaving lights on in the auditorium and so on.... Gary Stevens, the Gatehouse Manager has responded as follows: |
||
I am writing to you in my capacity as General Manager at the Gatehouse Theatre. On behalf of the team we are truly sorry for the technical glitches that you have encountered over recent weeks whilst visiting the film screenings. We take full responsibility.I and my technical Manager Wesley, met with Graeme on Friday 27th January 2023 and, having reviewed the incidents, we have taken appropriate action to mitigate these problems going forwards.We regret letting you down and hope that we can win back your trust in the weeks to come, once again my sincere apologies.With regards,Gary Stevens

With the Gatehouse's commitment to improving their pre-screening checking process, we look forword to bringing you a Spring Season of high quality movies in a high standard theatre environment. Please get in touch either at a film or through one of the contact email addresses listed on this site, if you'd like to talk about this further. Our aim will always be to try to bring the very best quality performance to our showings and we will work hard not to let you down. |
