Melksham Assembly Hall is set to screen a unique satellite broadcast of Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon in conversation, preceded by a special screening of ‘The Trip To Italy’.
The event will take place on Wednesday 21st May with the stars in conversation coming live from host venue, the Hackney Picturehouse.
Reprising the formula of director Michael Winterbottom’s hit BBC TV series ‘The Trip’, comedians Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon travel the length of Italy reviewing toothsome restaurants for The Observer. ‘The Trip To Italy’ is of course a chance for its two stars to engage in constant, gently argumentative and inevitably hilarious banter.
While taking in the restaurants of Liguria, Tuscany, Rome, Amalfi and Capri, they talk about life, love, work, exile, Byron and Shelley in this leftfield comedy gem.
This special event, exclusive to select cinemas in the UK, reunites the two stars to bring their inimitable banter live, as they discuss the popular series and take questions from the audience. ‘The Trip To Italy’ is a feature length edit of the TV series, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah earlier this year.
Marc Allenby, director of distribution at Picturehouse said, “We are excited to be bringing this popular TV series to the big screen and with it, two comedy institutions. Adding the live dynamic to the hugely popular show will make for a wonderfully unpredictable night of hilarious entertainment.”
Tickets to see this special screening are priced at £10 each and are available from Melksham Assembly Hall (01225 704187) or the tourist information centre (01225 707424)
