1985 Comedy Drama UK

Set in London during the Thatcher years, it tells the story of Omar (Gordon Warnecke) and his old friend, street punk Johnny (Daniel Day-Lewis) who, in a seedy part of London, are trying to run the family laundrette business formerly owned by Omar’s uncle. The story is not so much about the the fate of the laundry or the two men, but about the society in which the characters live.

“This culture-clash comedy is also a subversive work of social realism that dares to address racism, homophobia, and socio political marginalisation in Margaret Thatcher’s England”. The Criterion collection.

Booking in advance enables the adjustment of the seating accordingly for space and best sight lines to the screen. However you are welcome even without a booking as the capacity of the hall is greater than their average sized audience.

They still take cash and you are encouraged to use hand sanitiser after paying. They offer a complimentary paper cup of wine or a soft drink. Their full range of refreshments is not yet available but you are welcome to bring your own (quiet!) refreshments. The wearing of face coverings is now a matter of choice.
Please let them know of your needs when you book so they can arrange more distanced seating for you. The hall continues to be heated and well ventilated.
