Main Info

Join us for a mixed programme of short films from Auden’s life and works.

Featuring the acclaimed documentaries, Night Mail (1936) and Coal Face (1935). Both contain poetry by Auden and scores by Benjamin Britten.

The programme will also include the short film Runner (1960), which is narrated with a poem written by W.H. Auden commissioned specifically for the film, which follows Bruce Kidd, a Toronto athlete training for the Commonwealth games.

There is no need to book for this event, simply turn up!

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Two short films were made in 1930s and may contain content that is politically unacceptable almost a century later.
