To celebrate Shakespeare’s anniversary on 23 April, we present this rarely-screened adaptation of Hamlet, directed by Akira Kurosawa (Rashamon, The Seven Samurai, Ran).

This masterful 1960 mystery noir sees ambitious illegitimate son Kôichi Nishi (Toshirô Mifune) climb to a high position within a Japanese corporation. He marries the daughter (Kyôko Kagawa) of the company’s vice president Iwabuchi (Masayuki Mori), but at the wedding reception (later an inspiration for The Godfather), the party are reminded of the hushed-up death of Nishi's father and Nishi unleashes a plan to avenge his father's death.

Japanese themed refreshments will be available in the interval… plus a cash only bar

Doors 6.30pm / Film 7pm
