Catch-up Screenings: The Miracle Club (12A) – Bonington Cinema, Arnold
Sun 21 – Wed 24 Jan, Various Times £6.80pp £5pp on Tuesdays
Set in 1967, The Miracle Club is a heart-warming film that follows the story of three generations of close friends, Lily (Maggie Smith), Eileen (Kathy Bates), and Dolly (Agnes O’Casey) of Ballygar, a hard-knocks community in Dublin, who have one tantalizing dream: to win a pilgrimage to the sacred French town of Lourdes, that place of miracles that draws millions of visitors each year. When the chance to win presents itself, the women seize it.
However, just before their trip, their old friend Chrissie (Laura Linney) arrives in Ballygar for her Mother’s funeral, dampening their good mood and well-laid plans. The women secure tickets and set out on the journey that they hope will change their lives, with Chrissie joining in place of her mother. The glamor and sophistication of Chrissie, who has just returned from a nearly 40-year exile in the United States, are not her only difficult traits. Old wounds are reopened along the way, forcing the women to confront their pasts even as they travel in search of a miracle. Deep wounds from the past can only be healed by the curative power of love and friendship.

Flying High Film Workshop: The Miracle Club – Bonington Cinema, Arnold 10.30am
Flying High Expressive Arts CIC in partnership with Gedling Borough Council and The Bonington Theatre has created an opportunity for adult members of the community to come together once a month for fun, camaraderie, learning, sharing food and film.
Each month on a Tuesday in the Bonington Theatre, a group of around 20 people will meet at 10.30am for a 2-hour exploration workshop (discussions, exercises, some role play and improvisation for those brave enough!) examining the themes, context, characters, ideas and plot of a particular film. At 12.30, the group will share a light buffet style lunch, teas and coffees before returning to the auditorium to watch the film at 1.30pm. Depending on the length of the film, the event should finish 3.00pm – 3.30pm and if people would like to reflect on the film and the day, there would be a chance to do so after the film.
Tuesday 23rd January 10.30am – 3.00pm – The Miracle Club starring Kathy Bates, Maggie Smith, Laura Linley and Agnes O’Casey
Ballygar, Ireland, 1967. A hard-knocks community in outer Dublin marches to its own beat, rooted in traditions of loyalty, faith and togetherness. There’s just one tantalising dream for the women of Ballygar to taste freedom and escape the gauntlet of domestic life: to win a pilgrimage to the sacred French town of Lourdes. And with a little benevolent interference from their priest, close friends Lily, Eileen and Dolly are the ‘lucky’ few to win this ticket of a lifetime at their riotous local raffle night. Joining them on the trip is Chrissie, who has flown in from America for her mother’s funeral. These four have a complicated mutual history, the threads of which intertwine and finally resolve in unlooked-for mutual forgiveness which, may be the miracle they are looking for?
Ticket prices are £10.00 per person but if anyone needs support to pay this, please contact carrie@flying-high.org.uk There are just 20 tickets available so buy your ticket now!
