Lancaster’s Dukes cinema is to present a preview screening of Quartet, Dustin Hoffman’s directorial debut, on Tuesday 11th December.

This special screening at 6.45pm will be followed by a live satellite question and answer session with members of the film’s cast and crew including Billy Connolly, Sheridan Smith and Tom Courtenay plus screenwriter Ronald Harwood.

This is a great chance to see a film which is generating a real buzz weeks before its national release on 1st January and before it returns to The Dukes from 25th January.

Quartet (12A) is a tale of in-fighting and camaraderie among the residents of a retirement home for classical musicians and features a host of British acting talent including Maggie Smith and Michael Gambon.
