Labyrinth & The Wizard of Oz
Labyrinth: The first part of the evening will take you into Labyrinth, the endlessly surprising and creature-filled fairytale from the minds of Muppet maestro Jim Henson, Star Wars creator George Lucas, Monty Python’s Terry Jones and legendary designer Brian Froud.
When teenager Sarah discovers that her baby brother Toby has disappeared, she must make her way through a fiendishly complex magical maze, in just thirteen hours, to win him back from Jareth, the Goblin King. David Bowie delivers a wonderfully mysterious and magical performance as the Goblin King, providing the film with five memorable songs and a series of unfeasibly tight trousers.
The Wizard of Oz: Later in the evening, we’re off down the Yellow Brick road to see the wonderful Wizard of Oz. The 1939 classic is a film that you can simply never grow tired of, which you’re never too old to enjoy and retains a strangeness that still makes it a little scary (who can forget the Wicked Witch of the West and those flying monkeys). With Judy Garland delivering iconic songs that have stood the test of time and old friends the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion along for companionship, this is the perfect way to re-discover a film classic. So put on those ruby slippers and join us for a dream double-bill.
