A MINEHEAD theatre is closing off its season with a screening of The Ballad of Wallis Island.

Starring Carey Mulligan, the new film directed by James Griffiths will be screened at the Minehead Regal on Tuesday, July 1 at 7.30pm.

Mulligan plays one half of an estranged folk duo in a film about an eccentric lottery winner Charles who lives alone on a remote island and dreams of getting his favourite musicians McGwyer Mortimer 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. But old tensions resurface as Charles tries desperately to salvage his dream.

The Regal bar will be open for refreshments from 7pm.
