GIANT - the play
Chiswick Cinema

We are delighted to have negotiated a special price Chiswick Cinema, just for our members, of £16 for certain screenings.


GIANT the Play

Date: 19 November 2026

Time: 7:30

The Film: 

GIANT, the 5-star critically acclaimed play starring John Lithgow  as Roald Dahl, comes to the big screen. Winner of 3 Olivier Awards including Best Play and a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play (John Lithgow), the production was filmed live in London’s West End ahead of its sold-out Broadway run. The stellar cast includes Aya Cash , Elliot Levey  and Rachael Stirling.

A world-famous children’s author under threat. A battle of wills in the wake of scandal. And one chance to make amends...It’s the summer of 1983, The Witches is about to hit the shelves and Roald Dahl is making last-minute edits.  But the outcry at his recent, explicitly antisemitic article won’t die down. Across a single afternoon at his family home, and rocked by an unexpectedly explosive confrontation, Dahl is forced to choose: make a public apology or risk his name and reputation. Inspired by real events, GIANT explores with dark humour the difference between considered opinion and dangerous rhetoric offering a complicated portrait of a fiendishly charismatic icon.

THE NUTCRACKER - Royal Ballet
Chiswick Cinema

We are delighted to have negotiated a special price for our members with Chiswick Cinema of £16 for certain screenings.


THE NUTCRACKER - Royal Ballet 

Date: 1 December 2026

Time: 7:15

The Film: 

At a cosy Christmas party, young Clara meets the mysterious magician Drosselmeyer, who gives her a nutcracker doll. When the guests have departed and the house is asleep, Clara sneaks downstairs in search of the doll. Instead, she finds Drosselmeyer, who whisks her away on a journey into a whole world of enchantment: fantastical landscapes of flurried snow and glittering confection where toys come alive and the magic never stops. 

Peter Wright’s production of this festive family favourite sparkles to the wondrous swell of Tchaikovsky’s orchestral score, alongside the glow and grandeur of Julia Trevelyan Oman’s period designs.
