‘The Time of their Lives’ (2017)

Determined to gate-crash her ex-lover’s funeral on glamorous French hideaway Ile-de-Re, former Hollywood siren Helen (Joan Collins) escapes her London retirement home with the help of Priscilla (Pauline Collins), a repressed English housewife stuck in a bad marriage. Pooling their limited resources, they hit the road together by coach,  ferry, car and foot in a race to get to the funeral on time, becoming   entangled in a love triangle with a reclusive Italian millionaire (Franco Nero) along the way.  On this unforgettable journey, they find true friendship in one another – and have the time of their lives.  Poignant at times but with warm and gentle humour, the inspired casting of Collins and Collins make this a must-see film.

Doors open 7pm, film start 7.30pm
