Exclusive screenings for parents of babies under one have been scheduled by the new Errol Flynn Filmhouse at Royal & Derngate.
A spokesman for the cinema said: “The screening will give people the chance to catch up on the latest movies with their baby in a safe and sympathetic environment, without the worry of causing a disturbance.”
The next Parent And Baby screening will be Joss Whedon’s beautiful new black and white version of Much Ado About Nothing, which can be seen at 11am on Monday July 22.
“Shot much in the spirit of the stage play on which it’s based, Whedon’s version of Shakespeare’s romantic comedy was filmed in his Santa Monica mansion in just 12 days,” the spokesman said.
“Though retaining much of Shakespeare’s original dialogue, its more flowery corners have been rounded off in deference to modern (and younger ears), making it a pacey and amusing film that even Shakespeare-phobes will find engaging.
“Sited adjacent to Royal & Derngate, the newly opened The Errol Flynn Filmhouse has state of the art digital projection equipment and great quality sound.
“The luxurious reclining leather seats have side tables, so customers can comfortably enjoy refreshments in the auditorium before the film starts, and a carefully chosen range of drinks and snacks, including locally-sourced products, will be available from the cinema’s bar, which will be open around 30 minutes before the film starts,” he added.
Admission to the parent/carer and baby screenings is £6.50, with the baby (aged under one year old) going free. Tickets can be bought on the day or booked in advance by calling Box Office on 01604 624811, or online at www.errolflynnfilmhouse.com.
