    Amble Film Society: The Motorcycle Diaries

    Time: 7pm
    Location: Dovecote Centre NE65 0DX

    The Motorcycle Diaries. The Motorcycle Diaries is a 2004 biographical coming-of-age road movie directed by Walter Salles from a screenplay by José Rivera, based on Che Guevara's 1995 memoir of the same name and Alberto Granado's memoir Che Guevara.

    Date: Friday 24 January
    Doors: 6:30pm
    Talk: 7:00pm
    Screen: 7:10pm
    Run Time: 126 mins


    The Motorcycle Diaries is a fervent, dreamily reverent biopic of Ernesto "Che" Guevara's legendary gap year, an epic tour of Latin America that he took, as a short-haired 23-year-old medical student, with his friend Alberto Granado, a cheery postgrad in biochemistry, both guys seated astride Granado's spluttering Norton 500 motorbike. It is based partly on Che's own memoir - originally and unsexily called Travel Notes, later renamed The Motorcycle Diaries - and Granado's book Travels With Che Guevara.

    The film being shown in February has not been decided yet.

    TWO by Jim Cartwright

    Time: 7.30pm
    Location: Memorial Hall, Warkworth

    NOMAD is a small theatre group, based in Alnwick, bringing a different style of performance to the area. TWO is a poignant and touching play exploring working class characters in northern Britain.

    Join us behind the bar of a typical northern pub, meet the landlord and landlady, a bickering husband and wife and a host of regulars who visit their local. The feuding couple keep everyone’s spirits up while hiding their own dark tragedy, coming to a head in a heart rending outpouring.

    Skilfully performed by 2 actors playing all 14 roles, each segment combines humour and pathos, weaving together rich tales full of human emotion. This dark comedy gives an insight into the variety of characters who bring their own dramas and stories into the premises.

    Jim Cartwright is an international award winning dramatist and director, best known for The Rise of Little Voice, Road and Bed and his plays are constantly in production around the world.

    The venues for this show invite the audience into the pub ambience to draw them into the world of these regular customers. So get the tipple of your choice and join us
    Tickets £7.50.
