Synopsis
Struggling writer Paul Varjak moves into a New York apartment building and becomes intrigued by his pretty, quirky neighbor Holly Golightly. Holly's lifestyle confuses and fascinates Paul; in public she flits through parties with a sexy, sophisticated air, but when they're alone she changes into a sweetly vulnerable bundle of neuroses.


Thursday 8 October, 1.30-3.30pm
DIZZY
A popular return by Richard & Polly
presenting a multi instrument and
keyboard programme of hit themes from
the 60s, 70s and 80s. Listen and dance to
