February 1, 2020 - Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

Nominated for five Academy Awards, including "Best Picture," 1954's Seven Brides for Seven Brothers remains a thoroughly delightful blend of songs, dances and romantic comedy. When the eldest of seven brothers (Howard Keel) living on the frontier in the Oregon Territory returns with a bride (Jane Powell), she is shocked to learn that her new home includes six untamed, unkempt and uncouth brothers-in-law. Her efforts to turn the six brothers into gentlemen inspire them to find wives of their own ... leading to an all-out, singing, dancing, Wild West battle of the sexes. Directed by Stanley Donen (Singin' in the Rain), the film is based on Stephen Vincent Benet's The Sobbin' Women. Adolph Deutsch and Saul Chaplin won the Oscar for their film score.

February 6, 2020 - The Tempest

The Donmar Warehouse returns to St. Ann's with The Tempest, the finale to Phyllida Lloyd's thrilling all-female Shakespeare Trilogy. Led by the great Harriet Walter as Prospero, and with songs by the legendary Joan Armatrading, The Tempest takes place in a women's prison, where Lloyd's intrepid "inmates" play the roles Shakespeare originally wrote for men. The Tempest proves a moving metaphor, conjuring Prospero's magical island from the stark prison setting.

February 14, 2020 - The Sleeping Beauty Ballet

Recorded live at the Royal Opera House, Royal Ballet Principal Marianela Nuñez delights as Princess Aurora, with Vadim Muntagirov as her Prince Florimund, in this performance of a timeless classic. Marius Petipa's The Sleeping Beauty holds a special place in The Royal Ballet's repertory, with its vibrant sets and glittering costumes and featuring such iconic moments as the Rose Adage, the Vision pas de deux, the exuberant wedding celebration and the charming fairy-tale guests, all danced to Tchaikovsky's richly layered music - one of the most beloved ballet scores of all time. This Sleeping Beauty captures all the magic and virtuosity that ballet has to offer.

February 20, 2020 - Absence of War

John Thaw (Inspector Morse) stars in David Hare's compelling political drama. As the battle for the soul of the Labour Party commences, the Right Honourable George Jones, MP, leader of the Party and honourable in every sense of the word, is subjected to intolerable behind-the-scenes pressures.
