“Armando Iannucci’s brilliant horror-satire ‘The Death Of Stalin’ is a sulphurous black comedy [...] Superbly cast, and acted with icy and ruthless force by an A-list lineup. There are no weak links. Each has a plum role; each squeezes every gorgeous horrible drop”
DOORS: 18:30 | FILM STARTS 19:00
We’re partnering with our friends at Wiper and True throughout 2025 for a series of cult comedy screenings. Head to this award-winning local brewery’s taproom in Old Market and enjoy a free welcome pint from their draught range upon arrival, including delicious alcohol-free versions of their famous Kaleidoscope pale ale and Tomorrow lager. The taproom is open after the film ends.
Our final screening of 2025 at Wiper & True is Armando Iannucci’s wickedly biting satire on Soviet-era political subterfuge, The Death Of Stalin. An ensemble cast mixing top British talent with Hollywood names, a razor-sharp script and an unflinching look at the absurdities of power running unchecked all make this one of Iannucci’s most vital - and most entertaining - works to date.
NB: this screening will be subtitled
Please note that this event is strictly for over-18s only
