Garlic Theatre
Jack and the Beans Talk

By Garlic Theatre Was it a dream or did I hear a talking bean? Jack lives on a small farm with his mum and very little to eat. He likes to talk to the birds, his cow and anyone who will listen. Imagine his surprise when he swops his cow for some magic beans and starts to hear a whispering in the breeze and a giant rumble in the sky … Charming and inventive with plenty of interaction, an enormous beanstalk, bags of gold and a smelly old giant, Jack and the Beans Talk is a cautionary tale about what might happen if you throw things out of the window! This project is part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

Small Things Like These12a

Oscar winner Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer) delivers another outstanding performance in Tim Mielants’ piercing drama based on Claire Keegan’s best-selling novella, fully channelling the quiet tension and live emotion of her prose. Ireland, 1985: In the months leading up to Christmas, coalman and family man Bill Furlong (Murphy) discovers startling secrets kept by the local convent. Deeply conflicted, Bill reaches a breaking point that forces him to confront both his own past and the complicit silence of a small Irish town under the control of the Catholic Church, led locally by Mother Superior Sister Mary (Emily Watson – Breaking the Waves). “An absorbing, committed drama” ★★★★ The Guardian “A quiet film with fire raging in its heart” The Next Best Picture

The Outrun15

Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan (Little Women) is superb as a young woman grappling with addiction in Nora Fingscheidt’s (System Crasher) The Outrun, based on the bestselling memoir by Amy Liptrot. Fresh out of rehab, Rona (Ronan) returns home to the wild, beautiful Orkney Islands. After over a decade in London, where she both found and lost love, and where her life was derailed by alcoholism, Rona, now 30, attempts for the first time to reconcile with her traumatic past amidst the majestic landscape of her youth, surrounded by ferocious gales and a stormy sea. Both visceral and delicate, The Outrun is a moving and complex portrait of one individual’s path to recovery, and of a troubled mind seeking to heal.
