FILMS being screened at Malvern Theatres this week include Stage Beauty and the animated Home on the Range.
Claire Danes, Rupert Everett, Ben Chaplin and Billy Crudup star in Stage Beauty, set in 17th Century England at a time when men assumed female roles in plays.
Crudup spends much of the movie in full drag as a stage star considered the most beautiful leading lady of his day and Danes plays an ambitious wannabe actress who falls in love with him, but is jealous of his success. She finally gets a chance to perform when King Charles II decides to allow women to take the stage.
For children and lovers of animation, Home on the Range features Judi Dench's voice as one of three cows on a mission to prevent their home being taken away.
Stage Beauty is at 8pm from October 22-28. Home on the Range is at 2pm from October 22-28 and 4.30pm, October 29-31. For tickets call 01684 892277 or www. malvern-theatres.co. uk.
