George Eastman (<a title="Montgomery Clift" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montgomery_Clift">Montgomery Clift</a>), the poor nephew of rich industrialist Charles Eastman (<a title="Herbert Heyes" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Heyes">Herbert Heyes</a>), takes a job in his uncle's factory. Despite George's family relationship to the owner, the rich Eastman family treats him as an outsider and gives him the humblest job available in the factory and no entree into their exclusive social circle. George, uncomplaining, hopes to impress his uncle—whom he addresses as "Mr. Eastman"—with his hard work and earn his way up. </div><div></div><br /><div>While working in the factory, George starts dating fellow factory worker Alice "Al" Tripp (<a title="Shelley Winters" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelley_Winters">Shelley Winters</a>), in defiance of the workplace rules. Al is a poor and inexperienced girl who is dazzled by George and slow to believe that his Eastman name brings him no advantages.<br /></div><br /><div>While stepping out with Al, George meets "society girl" Angela Vickers, played by <a title="Elizabeth Taylor" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Taylor">Elizabeth Taylor</a>, and they quickly fall in love. Being Angela's escort thrusts George into the intoxicating and carefree lifestyle of high society that his rich Eastman kin had denied him. When Al announces that she is pregnant and makes it clear that she expects George to marry her, he temporizes, spending more and more of his time with Angela and his new well-heeled friends. An attempt to procure an abortion for Al fails, and Al renews her insistence on marriage. George is invited to join Angela at the Vickers's holiday lake house and excuses himself to Al, saying that the visit will advance his career and accrue to the benefit of the coming child.<br /></div><br /><div>George and Angela spend time at secluded Loon Lake, and after hearing a story of a couple's supposed drowning there, with the man's body never being found, George hatches a plan to rid himself of Al so that he can marry Angela. Tradegy follows.......you will have to come and see what happens if you don't already know......</div><br /><div></div><div>The film was directed by George Stevens and was a critical and commercial success, winning six <a title="Academy Award" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award">Academy Awards</a>. </div><div></div><div>Tea, coffee and biscuits served throughout......just 50p.

Our aim with the show is to encourage the take up of physical activities and we want to work with partnership organisations who have the same objectives.<br /><br />Ma Kelly is happy avoiding her responsibilities towards her boisterous step-grandchildren and living an easy life; after all, she needn't get out of her chair...but it's also quite lonely...until a young neighbour, Sakara turns up needing her help, and daughter Joan drops by and she's in tears, she's only fifty and the bus driver asked her for her bus pass!<br /><br />The Three decide to unite on a mission to be fitter and healthier. It doesn't sound much fun to Ma Kelly, but the results are hilarious and she ends up going to the Games!<br /><br />Interwoven with songs, and a dance or two, you may find yourself wanting to join them...<br /><br />Plus tea and biscuits and the chance to have a go yourself to the strains of the music from the sixties.<br /><br />For more information contact Victoria<br />ATTIC 020 8640 6800<br /><a href="mailto:info@attictheatrecompany.com">info@attictheatrecompany.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.attictheatrecompany.com/">http://www.attictheatrecompany.com/</a></div>johhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15316354785654688062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-818602069659651151.post-72665566340532268932011-01-22T11:18:00.000-08:002011-01-26T04:48:58.533-08:00HELEN O'GRADY DRAMA ACADEMYSATURDAY TERM TIMES 10.30-12.30PM<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivcQugvHDwtcXVv7tIyGasrvbV4x-17MLPMnIc3qzhBETFl_QY66xFjBtdl0MO8lC-TXpUK1j0aVBCRr9XqqSCk2lS-Yir3uVa2PVTL3i99eFCs0j5Ps2HfpgT0OIzRWWVvv45SZidVc0/s1600/NTD2[1].jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565095428894017410" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 264px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 191px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivcQugvHDwtcXVv7tIyGasrvbV4x-17MLPMnIc3qzhBETFl_QY66xFjBtdl0MO8lC-TXpUK1j0aVBCRr9XqqSCk2lS-Yir3uVa2PVTL3i99eFCs0j5Ps2HfpgT0OIzRWWVvv45SZidVc0/s320/NTD2%255B1%255D.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>The worlds Largest Drama Academy comes to the Nettlefold, offering a self development programme guarenteed to benefit your child.</div><br /><div></div><div>Classes available in three groups</div><div>Lower primary 5-8 years</div><div>Upper Primary 9-11 years</div><div>Youth Theatre 12 years plus</div><br /><div></div><div>The benefits are many:</div><ul><li>speak and move confidently</li><li>answer in full sentences</li><li>feel good about themselves</li><li>improve their confidence</li><li>increase self-esteem</li><li>improve commitment</li><li>act in plays</li><li>work in group situations</li><li>meet new friends</li><li>discuss social issues</li><li>improve lsiteninf skills</li><li>encourage English language skills</li></ul><p>Principal: Neil O'Gorman</p><div>21 Benhurst Gardens,</div><div>Croyden</div><div>Cr2 8NT</div><br /><div></div><div>For details contact Neil on</div><div>Tel: 020 8239 0053</div><div>Email: <a href="mailto:slondon@helenogrady.co.uk">slondon@helenogrady.co.uk</a></div><div><a href="http://www.helenogrady.co.uk/">http://www.helenogrady.co.uk/</a></div><br /><div></div>johhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15316354785654688062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-818602069659651151.post-9925337682410580682010-12-31T01:43:00.000-08:002010-12-31T02:54:01.385-08:00Zumba Classes starting!Hi! <div></div><div> </div><div>Starting from next week a new class at The Nettlefold.</div><div>It's a ZUMBA class, and it's active, energetic and fun!

I'm especially delighted to have gotten my first-ever starred review in Booklist, which reads, in part, "Doctorow is indispensable. It’s hard to imagine any other author taking on youth and technology with such passion, intelligence, and understanding...Once again Doctorow has taken denigrated youth behavior (this time, gaming) and recast it into something heroic... With its eye-opening humanity and revolutionary zeal, this ambitious epic is well worth the considerable challenge."
