Save the Cinema
The sleepy town of Carmarthen in Wales is not exactly the first place to spring to mind when thinking of Hollywood blockbusters. But this changed in 1993 when the town council made the unwelcome announcement The The Lyric Theatre - the town's much loved but financially stricken cinema - would be demolished so a shopping centre could be built in its place. It's down to Liz Evans, hairdresser and linchpin to the local community, to stand up for the ailing cinema and stop the bulldozers.Liz and her friends barricade themselves in the theatre, and she reaches out to postman turned town councillor Richard (Tom Felton) for help - and they come up with a grand plan.To revitalise the cinema and stop the council taking the heart of the community away, a desperate Liz persuades Richard to write to Hollywood to ask for a helping hand. One late night phone call later and one of Hollywood’s most legendary filmmakers throws The Lyric a monster-sized lifeline and a premiere Carmarthen will never forget. But will this be enough to save The Lyric?
