A tale of Treachery, Madness and Thwarted Love

In association with The Elmbridge Literary Festival

Tickets: £12 from: Cecil Hepworth Playhouse

A rare chance to see this classic 1920 British silent film directed by Walton based cinema pioneer Cecil Hepworth. Starring Alma Taylor (in a dual role as mother and daughter), James Carew, and Gerald Ames, this tale of treachery, madness and thwarted love is one of the few remaining works of Hepworth, and one of the only surviving films that make up the birth of the British Film Industry. 

Filmed around Heptonstall in Yorkshire, this melodrama sees our heroine fall victim to a lurid revenge plot hatched by her mother's rejected beau.

The film is screened with live musical accompaniment by Stephen Horne - Biography

Where: Cecil Hepworth Playhouse, Hurst Grove, Hepworth Way, Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, KT12 1AU
