“Although what you are about to see is a work of fiction, it should nevertheless be played at maximum volume.”
Get out your platforms and glitter, and celebrate the energy of David Bowie and glam rock with Todd Hayne’s Velvet Goldmine, starring Ewan McGregor, Christian Bale and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Arthur (Christian Bale) is a New York journalist in 1984, sent to do a story on the disappearance of glam superstar Brian Slade (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) a decade earlier. Imagine Citizen Kane, but about Ziggy Stardust with a soundtrack featuring the Velvet Underground and T-Rex.
The night will kick off with glam rock music in the bar and Ziggy Stardust inspired makeovers will be available from makeup artist Donna Marie. Book your tickets early to avoid disappointment.
Experience unforgettable cinema in South Norwood’s beautiful Grade II listed Stanley Halls.
