CHAOS OF
DELIGHT
Back again by popular demand,
Robin Ince is a multiple
award-winning comedian
best known for co-hosting the
international smash hit, Rose
D’Or and Sony Award winning
BBC Radio 4 and podcast
series, The Infinite Monkey
Cage, with Professor Brian
Cox, and the acclaimed Book
Shambles podcast with Josie
Long.
He has been the co-curator
and host of some of the
most acclaimed live science

In this joyous artist’s manifesto
of delight and curiosity Robin

art and science and combines
them with a bunch of silly
voices in a celebration of the
human mind, from Bohemians
to Black Holes, and Dali to DNA.

BOHEMIAN
RHAPSODY
2018, 134mins, 12A
Bohemian Rhapsody is a
foot-stomping celebration
of Queen, their music and
their extraordinary lead
singer Freddie Mercury.
Freddie defied stereotypes
and shattered convention
to become one of the most
beloved entertainers on the
planet.
The film traces the meteoric
rise of the band through
their iconic songs and
revolutionary sound. They
reach unparalleled success,
but in an unexpected turn
Freddie shuns Queen in pursuit
of his solo career. Having
suffered greatly without
the collaboration of Queen,
Freddie manages to reunite
with his bandmates just in
time for Live Aid. While bravely
facing a recent AIDS diagnosis,
Freddie leads the band in one
of the greatest performances
in the history of rock music.
Queen cements a legacy that
continues to inspire outsiders,
dreamers and music lovers to
this day.
