NOVEMBER will be a bumper month at the Minehead Regal for movie, ballet, and theatre buffs.

The Royal Ballet’s La Fille mal gardée will be screened from London’s Royal Opera House on Wednesday November 5 at 7.15pm, and National Theatre live Mrs Warren’s Profession on Friday November 7 at 7pm.

The Royal Ballet presents Frederick Ashton’s La Fille mal gardée 65 years after its premiere. This affectionate portrayal of village life combines exuberant good humour and brilliantly inventive choreography in what is undoubtedly Ashton’s love letter to the English countryside.

Five-time Olivier Award winner Imelda Staunton (The Crown) joins forces with her real-life daughter Bessie Carter (Bridgerton) for the very first time, playing mother and daughter in Bernard Shaw’s moral classic Mrs Warren’s Profession.

Tickets cost £15.50 (Film Society members/Regal Theatre Friends £14.00, Students/ES40s £13, under 14s £10). Numbered seats may be booked in advance online and at the Regal box office (01643 706430) between 9.30am and 12 noon Monday-Saturday.

An inspiring story of love, hope and resistance, set during the Second World War, From Hilde, with Love (Cert 15) will be screened on Tuesday November 4 at 7.30pm.

Set in in 1942, it is based on a powerful true story about an anti-Nazi resistance activist, a dental assistant in Berlin called Hilde, who falls in love with Hans Coppi, a communist who is hiding a Soviet parachutist.

The couple spend a summer together, but Hilde’s work for the resistance, sending messages to Moscow and printing and distributing anti-Nazi leaflets, puts her at high risk of arrest by the Gestapo.

Tickets for this subtitled film cost £6 (£4 Regal Film Society members/Students/ES40s) and may also be booked in advance online and at the box office.

The Regal bar will be open for refreshments half-an-hour before each performance.
