Graham Greene Film Matinee:
'Our Man in Havana' (12)
Dir: Carol Reed U.K. 1959 1hr 50mins
The second adaptation of a Graham Greene novel in this short retrospective for the Humber Mouth, it stars Alec Guiness in the unusual role of vacuum salesman spy reminiscent of Geoffrey Rush's position in The Tailor of Panama.
"A real 'winds of change' film, with traditional values visibly crumbling in the heat of pre-revolutionary Cuba. Guiness is wonderful �� he emerges as a master of the situation through the boldness of his fantasies. Graham Greene's 'entertainment' is only gently macabre and the threats never quite materialise." - Time Out Film Guide

African Visions:
The Season of Men (12)
Dir: Moufida Tlatli Tunesia 2000 2hr 2mins subtitled
"After her sensitive, prize-winning directing debut in 1994, Silences of the Palace, Tlatli returns to the theme of Tunesian women caught between modernity and oppressive traditions in which men are kings and women their obedient servants. Aicha (Rabiaa Ben Abdallah) has realised her lifelong dream of leaving the claustrophobic island of Djerba with her children and moving to Tunis, where her husband, Said (Ezzedine Gennoun) sells carpets 11 months of the year" - Variety

Wrecking Ball Fringe Festival presents:
Brendan Cleary, Geoff Hattersley & Peter Knaggs
"The eternal teenager of Irish poetry, Brendan Cleary's readings and performances are justly renowned: straight -talking, comic, neurotic, deeply moving" Martin Mooney
Brendan Cleary lives in exile from Co. Antrim in Newcastle, where he edited and survived The Echo Room. He works as a part time lecturer, performance poet and stand-up comic. "Here is a talent going to waste" PN Review
The apparent simplicity of Geoff Hattersley's sly funny poems belies a shrewd intelligence as much in tune with larger events as with the daily happenings which seem to form their subject. He is a poet of the people. Geoff lives in Huddersfield where he leads a double life, at night a poet and by day a machine operator.
"Cheeky, imaginative, cerebral, witty - it is poetry which has a lot to say for itself " Douglas Dunn
|
Racy, engaging, accessible, with an ear for anecdote and an eye for detail, Peter Knaggs identifies the extraordinary in everyday life and writes about it with wit and precision. His poems are sharp, colloquial, fast moving, his sense of humour wry and exacting. This young Hull poet is on its way up. "Impressive stuff" Big Issue |

Linda Marlowe 'Diatribe of Love'
by Gabriel Garc�a M�rquez
Translated by Gwynne Edwards
Following the success of Linda Marlowe's first one woman show, 'Berkoff's Women', 'Diatribe of Love' is the perfect vehicle to display again her already proven virtuosity.
Written by Gabriel Garc�a M�rquez, renowned for such best-selling novels as 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' and 'Love in the Time of Cholera', his only play 'Diatribe of Love against a seated Man', takes you on a psychological, spiritual and emotional journey.
On the eve of lavish celebrations to mark her 25th wedding anniversary, Graciela reflects on the events of her married life and resolves to take revenge upon her wealthy, powerful, philandering husband, finally extracting a vengeance which is both startling and terrible.
A daunting and poetic study of a woman's past and present dilemma and a visual feast.
