Sherriff Talk - That Awful Static Box: Agatha Christie on Screen
From the earliest attempts, Agatha Christie was rarely a fan of adaptations of her novels, or those who attempted to bring to life her most famous creations. This Talk looks at those directors and actors, from across the world, who have attempted to bring Christie’s stories to the screen.
Silver Screen - ‘The Choral’ Rated 12A ‧ 2025 ‧ Music ‧ 1h 53m
Set in 1916, during World War I, in the fictional town of Ramsden, Yorkshire, the film follows the members of the local choral society which recruits a disparate group of townspeople for a performance of Edward Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius, a work chosen because it was not written by a German. It stars Ralph Fiennes, Alun Armstrong Robert Emms, and Simon Russell Beale and is directed by Nicholas Hytner and written by Alan Bennett.
