Save the Cinema
Liz, mother of three, runs the local youth opera out of her community’s Lyric Theatre. However, her old classmate, now turned Mayor, Tom (who still holds a grunge from unrequited love in youth) has plans to line his and his friends’ pockets by tearing down the Lyric and turning it into a shopping centre. Liz, with the help of her old drama teacher, fellow hairdresser Dolly and her family, mount a campaign to save the cinema. Liz manages through her determination to contact Stephen Spielberg, who allows her to start her Welsh Premiere of Jurassic Park only three minutes after the one in Leicester Square. Through Liz’s determination and the backing of her community, they are able to save the cinema.
