Screenplay - An Empty Seat/The Illicit Dark/Double Feature/Bit Part

Work:: Screenplay (S1594399969)

Four exciting new writing talents from the UK bring together four stories celebrating the history of cinema in our Odeon building, from its opening in 1936 to the theatre days in 1998. See them all together in one evening, or separately.

Production:: An Empty Seat/The Illicit Dark/Double Feature/Bit Part (T79018382)

An Empty Seat - Mae has landed her dream job as an usherette working the opening night of Scarborough Odeon. It's a full house to see The Ghost Goes West except for one seat next to Henry, the town outcast. Can they find mutual ground or will she remain ice cold like the rest? The Illicit Dark - A showing of Rear Window brings together three people with mysterious intentions. Is Jeanne being watched by Charles? Does he have a violent past? And is Susan, the cinema usherette, trying to protect or take advantage of Jeanne's concerns? Double Feature - It's a midnight movie double bill of The Wicker Man and Don't Look Now. A night out ought to bring Richie and Diana closer together, by fear if nothing else. But who is the unseen Jules adding fuel to the fire? Will it set their relationship alight or will it go up in flames? Bit Part - Julie's an alpha girl with frustrated ambitions. Best friend Martine is the retiring type with a breaking point stretched thin. One craves fame, the other likes being a pharmacy assistant. As they await their screen debut as extras in Little Voice, it's time to speak up about what the future holds.
