The audience choice votes are in and Sunday 9th June is the date for the final film in the 2018/19 season of Flix in the Stix, which will be Mary Queen of Scots.
This Oscar-nominated drama explores the turbulent life of the charismatic Mary Stuart (Saoirse Ronan). Queen of France at 16 and widowed at 18, Mary defies pressure to remarry and instead she returns to her native Scotland to reclaim her rightful throne. But Scotland and England fall under the rule of the compelling Elizabeth I (Margot Robbie).
Each young Queen beholds her “sister” in fear and fascination. Rivals in power and in love, and female regents in a masculine world, the two must decide how to play the game of marriage versus independence. Determined to rule as much more than a figurehead, Mary asserts her claim to the English throne, threatening Elizabeth’s sovereignty. Betrayal, rebellion, and conspiracies within each court imperil both thrones – and change the course of history.
Tickets are £5 from the centre office, Robert Leech Estate Agents in the High Street or on the door. Doors open and refreshments served from 7pm.
