HAYLE FILM CLUB:

The Lady in the Van - Saturday April 9 at 7.30pm.

The ‘mostly true' story of playwright Alan Bennett and Mary Shepherd, the elderly homeless woman who parked her Bedford van outside his home in Camden for a few weeks and stayed until her death 15 years later. Maggie Smith first played the cantankerous, unstoppable Mary on stage 16 years ago, and makes her believably exasperating, inspiring, charming, and appalling, often all at the same time. Alex Jennings plays a bemused Bennett, gradually unpicking Mary's past and often asking himself why he has allowed this to happen - there are no easy answers. The well-heeled artsy neighbours include great performances from Frances de la Tour and Roger Allam. (104 mins, 12A).

As ever, at the Passmore Edwards Institute, house lights down at 7.30pm and home-baked refreshments after. Tickets are £5/£4 for members, reserve on 01736 752319, or book online at www.haylefilmclub.org.uk
