Cinema Night At The Cross Barn - March 19th - An Education (12A)
It's 1961 and bright, attractive 16-year-old Jenny is poised on the brink of womanhood, dreaming of a Gauloise-scented existence as she sings along to Juliette Greco in her Twickenham bedroom. Stifled by the tedium of adolescent routine, she can't wait for adult life to begin.
Her life is turned around one rainy day when she meets David. Urbane, witty and twice her age, he manages to charm Jenny's conservative parents and introduces her to a glittering new world of classical concerts and late-night suppers with his attractive friend and business partner Danny, and Danny's beautiful but vacuous girlfriend Helen.
A weekend in Oxford is followed by a jaunt to Paris for Jenny's seventeenth birthday. Her parents believe David's aunt will be there as a chaperone, not knowing that Jenny has chosen the time and place to lose her virginity.
On her return, her friends are impressed by her new-found sophistication, but her headmistress is appalled, and her history teacher is deeply disappointed that her star pupil seems determined to throw away her certain chance of higher education. Just as her family's dream of getting her into Oxford seems within reach, Jenny is tempted by a different sort of life. Will David be the making of Jenny, or her undoing?
Doors open 45 minutes before performances. All tickets are £5. Tea/coffee and biscuits, and wine are available. Tickets can be purchased from P&K Electrical, Fountains Mall, Odiham. Alternatively, you can call The Cross Barn on 01256 701803 or email cinema@thecrossbarn.org.uk
