The Gateway Theatre in Seaton is going to have you laughing out loud with the spoof screening of Agatha Christie's, 'See How They Run'.
This is the funniest whodunnit comedy of the century from screenwriter Mark Chappell, starring Sam Rockwell and Saoirse Ronan who take us into the glamorous world of theatre in 1950s London.
It's 1953 and 'The Mouse Trap' is just 100 shows old, when a pivotal member of the crew, brash Hollywood director Leo Kopernick, is murdered. It's up to Inspector Stoppard and Constable Stalker to work out who did it.
There is even a young Richard Attenborough who actually was the inspector in the original run, brilliantly portrayed by Harris Dickinson.
This is going to be one of The Gateway's famous Friday Film Picnic Nights, so be sure to book early to avoid disappointment.
See How They Run – Friday, November 11, doors 6.30pm, tickets £7
When Riviera Dogs fills The Gateway stage, you know you are in for the best night of music and dance in the South West.
This five-piece band will play the hits you know and some you don't, from the 80s and 90s, but every one of them is guaranteed to get you on the dance floor.
Riviera Dogs have played at festivals, venues and gigs, performing for Heart FM and the Royal Navy. They have all performed in some of the most popular and longest running bands in the area, and never cease to get their audience up and dancing to all the greatest music of that era.
So pull on your best dancing self and get ready to have the best night of the year so far.
Riviera Dogs – Saturday, November 12, doors 7.30pm, tickets £20
From the loudest and best of the disco days, to something a bit more gentle, The Gateway are delighted to welcome the Lyme Bay Moonrakers to the stage for the first time.
Performing their new live show, and first album, 'Songs for the Wellerman', this Lyme Regis-based band will be bringing their seafaring celebration of original arrangements of songs, both new and old, sea shanties, ballads and other seafaring songs from around the British Isles and beyond.
Join us on a musical voyage across oceans and seas with soaring vocal harmonies and heart-warming melodies that will transport you to the gentler days of times gone by.
Lyme Bay Moonrakers – Friday, November 18, doors 7pm, tickets £12
Enjoy some of the finest French couture, see the sites and imagine strolling along the Champs-Elysees when 'Mrs Harris Goes to Paris'. The Gateway are taking you back to the 1950s again, this time it has the glamour of Dior and the Paris fashion houses where sumptuousness is a given.
This is about having a dream and making it happen, and not letting the people who think they know better, from stopping her get what she really wants.
There are two screenings for this film, a Friday Film Picnic Night and a Thursday matinee when you can bring your lunch along if you want. It's so good, you may want to see it twice!
Mrs Harris Goes to Paris – Friday, November 25, doors 6.30pm and matinee Thursday, December 1, doors 1.30pm, tickets for both £7
