Star Trek into Darkness (12A) - Alnwick Playhouse. 7:30pm.
Opening as Spock (Quinto) battles to stop a volcano on the planet
Nibiru from destroying the fleeing Enterprise, and then
descending into a breathtaking vision of 23rd-century London,
director Abrams’ second STAR TREK outing visually out-stuns
even his first.
With Cumberbatch’s much-teased, much hushed-up role as the
heinous villain, plus many old hands back on board – including
Pine as Kirk, Karl Urban as Bones, Zoe Saldana as Uhura, and
Pegg’s permanently rattled Scotty uttering the immortal line,
“I cannae do it, Captain” – everything we love about the
ever-evolving franchise, plus an exceptionally big budget,
guarantee awe. Abrams of course knows better than simply to
gorge on CGI, and working again with writers Roberto Orci and
Alex Kurtzman, he’s built a narrative spine that’s as robust and
complex as the Enterprise itself.

NT LIVE: The Audience - Alnwick Playhouse. 2pm.
This is an encore screening recorded on June 13th
For sixty years Elizabeth II has met each of her twelve Prime
Ministers in a weekly audience at Buckingham Palace – a meeting
like no other in British public life – it is private. Both
parties have an unspoken agreement never to repeat what is said.
Not even to their spouses.
The Audience breaks this contract of silence – and imagines a
series of pivotal meetings between the Downing Street incumbents
and their Queen. From Churchill to Cameron, each Prime Minister
has used these private conversations as a sounding board and a
confessional – sometimes intimate, sometimes explosive.

The Reluctant Fundamentalist (15) - Alnwick Playhouse. 7:30pm.
Changez Khan, a young Pakistani professor, was educated at
Princeton and was a brilliant business analyst on Wall Street.
He had a glittering future ahead of him, and the beautiful and
sophisticated Erica, with whom he was set to share that future.
In the aftermath of 9/11, the alienation and suspicion he
suddenly experiences drives him back to Lahore. There, it is not
long before his charisma and intelligence catapult him to become
a leader, both in the eyes of Pakistani students who revere him,
and the American government that suspects him.

The Price of Everything, a performance lecture about

impassioned arguments is occasionally shambolic and often
tendentious - but always a joy to watch.

When Rameau died in 1764, the Mercure de France concluded its

Rameau’s first work for the stage, written when he was nearly 50.
It is also Glyndebourne’s first production of an opera by Rameau,
and will strike audiences, as it did in Paris in 1733, with its
richness of invention.
