The arrival of a fabulous digital projector at the Marine Theatre is just in time to show clips from Barry Norman’s favourite films. At this evening on Friday 25th April at 8.00 pm Barry Norman will show some of his favourite scenes while he talks about the stars of the silver screen, most of whom he has interviewed.  The evening includes an opportunity to chat with Britain's best loved reviewer. Tickets for this opportunity to see the new silver screen at the Marine Theatre are for sale from Lyme’s Tourist Information centre 01297 442138 at £13.50, £12.50 for concessions.  As presenter of the BBC's cinema review for 26 years, Barry Norman became a household name and this is a unique opportunity for the theatre-going film lover to meet the man who has so many great stories to tell and to ask him questions.

He tells riveting anecdotes about film stars such as Richard Burton and his wife, Elizabeth Taylor, Peter Sellers and John Wayne.  Bob Hoskins also features in his stories. Margie Barbour, the Artistic Director of the Marine Theatre worked with Bob Hoskins as the Assistant Stage Manager on a television series to help adults learn to read called “On the Move”  “I am particularly keen to hear Barry’s stories of working with Bob as he was such fun on the series “On the Move” where he played someone who couldn’t read; he made the filming a real fun experience, and then, of course, he was just breaking into the business, he hadn’t made “Pennies from Heaven” or “Who framed Roger Rabbit”.

The evening should be a great treat for all film lover, particularly the regulars at the silver screen showings at Lyme’s Regent Cinema.  With stories about Robert De Niro, Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Michelle Pfeiffer, Ewan McGregor, Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger and, as they say in the movie blurbs, a cast of hundreds.
