SUMMARY:Tea at the Tali
DESCRIPTION:The Talisman play reading group meets once a month; someone in the group chooses a play and obtains copies from the library or elsewhere and we make sure everyone gets an opportunity to read a part. And of course\, we have an interval; a chance for a chat and a cup of a tea or coffee with a biscuit or two.Play reading has a number of benefits. For resting actors\, there’s an opportunity to keep in touch\, to practice their skills and widen their knowledge of plays. For the Talisman\, it keeps our members in touch and provides ideas for plays we might like to put on in future. \nAlongside the youth theatre\, the Fringe and Friday night socials\, it provides a conduit for the growth and success of the Talisman Theatre. Long may the Talisman play reading group continue.

SUMMARY:CINEMA - THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND
DESCRIPTION:THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND – Saturday 15th November 2025 at 7.30pm \n“He’s getting the band back together“ \nFresh Big Hearted Comedy \nCert: 12 \nUK  2025  99 mins (plus an intermission of 15 mins) \nDirector: James Griffiths \nStarring: Tim Key\, Tom Basden & Carey Mulligan \nThe Ballad of Wallis Island follows Charles (Tim Key)\, an eccentric lottery winner who lives alone on a remote island and dreams of getting his favourite musicians\, Mortimer-McGwyer (Carey Mulligan and Tom Basden) back together. His fantasy quickly turns into reality when the bandmates and former lovers accept his invitation to play a private show at his home on Wallis Island.

If there’s any justice in the world it should be the breakout hit of the summer.”   \nWendy Ide\, Top Critic\, Observer \n“A deft and funny character comedy – The Ballad of Wallis Island cheerfully encourages us to shrug off the past and move forwards; it’s a delightful\, entertaining British movie that fully deserves its growing success with audiences at home and abroad.”   \nEddie Harrison  film-authority.com
