a Super Cinema and Variety Theatre that would evoke the glamour of the era with
its sumptuous surroundings, highest possible attention to detail in its customer
care and an eclectic mix of screen and stage presentation, supported by the finest
Café dining experience which we continue to this day with the addition of our
events and wedding facilities, details of which can be obtained by contacting our

including our sensational family pantomime Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,
musicals, stage plays, comedians, concerts and family shows alongside satellite
broadcasts, current and classic films presented in their correct ratio and format,
ensuring the golden classics can be seen on the big screen as they should
be enjoyed.
With our ongoing maintenance and restoration appeal dedicated to restoring
and maintaining Stockport’s 1932 Art Deco Super Cinema and Variety Theatre,

SHAKESPEARE'S GLOBE ON SCREEN:
ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA
Cleopatra, the alluring and
fascinatingly ambiguous Queen of
Egypt, has bewitched the great Mark
Antony, soldier, campaigner and now
one of the three rulers of the Roman
Empire. When Antony quarrels with
his fellow leaders and throws in his
lot with Cleopatra, his infatuation
threatens to split the Empire in two.
The third of our Roman Tragedies,
Antony & Cleopatra picks up
Antony’s story many years after
Julius Caesar. Virtue and vice,
transcendent love and realpolitik
combine in Shakespeare’s greatest
exploration of the conflicting claims
of sex and power, all expressed in a
tragic poetry of breath-taking beauty
and magnificence.

Wednesday 26th August at 7.00pm
Othello is the greatest general of
his age. A fearsome warrior, loving
husband and revered defender of
Venice against its enemies. But he
is also an outsider whose victories
have created enemies of his own,
men driven by prejudice and
jealousy to destroy him. As they plot
in the shadows, Othello realises too
late that the greatest danger lies not
in the hatred of others, but his own
fragile and destructive pride.
After more than a decade working
in film and television on projects
from Star Wars to Holby City, Hugh
Quarshie returns to the RSC to play
Shakespeare’s Othello. He was last
seen with us in Faust and Julius

In Aida, Verdi masterfully puts the
intimate affairs of the heart against
the grandeur of the universe: where
kingdoms rise and fall and the sands
of time grind onwards.
There could be no grander setting for
such an opera than Sydney Harbour
itself: awash with the light of the
city and the Sydney Opera House
silhouetted against the setting sun.
It’s a monumental undertaking, with
a team of more than 700 people
involved in the project before a single
note is heard over the harbour.
Long after the fireworks have faded
from the sky and Amneris sings her
quiet, concluding prayer, you’ll see the
true mastery of this opera...

Charlie is generally recognised and
categorised as a country singer,
however, as his regular supporters
will tell you, country music actually
only accounts for a very small part
of his concert repertoire and music
catalogue in general.
An immensely talented star, he is
a well proven writer of fabulous
songs, and is well known and well
loved for his wonderful voice, but
it is in his ability to tell a fine tale
that we find a hidden gem, offering
a fine compliment to the music and
giving the concerts a real sense of
intimacy. Indeed one of Charlie’s
main attributes is that to this day,
in-spite of all of his fame and
achievements, he remains the same
warm, humble, likable, down to
earth, compassionate person.

crime before someone else gets the
kiss of death at Mistletoe Manor?

SAR AH MILLIC A N – OU TS I D ER
Tuesday 26th January at 8.00pm
In the past when you put Sarah
Millican outside, she asked things
like: ‘Why? Where is the taxi? Do I
need a cardie?’ and said things like:
‘There’ll be wasps. I’ve nothing to sit
on. Is that poo? Can we go home?’
But things have changed. Now she
has outside slippers. She can tell a
chaffinch from a tit (hey). But she
still can’t tell if it’s an owl or her
husband’s asthma.
Sarah Millican is venturing outside.
Bring a cardie.
(Not Suitable for under 16 years
of age)
TICKETS: £25
