THREE months of great entertainment are in store at SpArC Theatre in Bishops Castle, starting with two acclaimed movies - Suffragette, starring Carey Mulligan and Anne Marie Duff with Meryl Streep as Emmeline Pankhurst, and 45 Years, with Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay as a couple whose long and happy marriage is threatened by an echo from the past, on January 14 and 21 respectively.

January ends with a live screening of The Donmar Warehouse's production of Les Liaisons Dangereuses, and February opens with live theatre from Pipeline Theatre and their moving production, Transports, in which the lives of Dinah, a sociopathic 15-year-old, and Lotte, her widowed foster mother, collide with devastating consequences.

Live music, meanwhile, comes from Rackhouse Pilfer, a fiery, exciting, Irish-Americana and folk-rock band from Ireland, who recently recorded with Tom Jones on two tracks of his latest album, Long Lost Suitcase, and who play SpArC on Friday, February 12. In March, Nashville three-piece Woody Pines, part of the new generation of stateside bands who are reviving music from a bygone era in a contemporary style.

March brings more drama to the SpArC stage as Pentabus present their new production, This Land, which tells a story of community, belonging and the ground beneath our feet, as a fracking company prepares to dig in the village where Bea and Joseph live. And on Friday, March 18, Hotbuckle Theatre Company, who adapt classic novels to make them accessible to everyone, present a new adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma.
