Heart of Hawick!
George McNeill was born in the small mining town of Tranent. He began his sporting
career as a part time professional footballer, signing for Hibs at the age of sixteen.
Giving up football to concentrate on athletics he went on to win the Centenary
Powderhall Sprint on the 1st of Jan 1970. Due to his professional football career he
was banned from running as an amateur which meant he would never compete at
the Commonwealth or Olympic Games.
Despite this, he went on to set a World Professional Sprint record in 1970 and a
World Professional Sprint title in 1972. He would go on to win the most prestigious
professional sprint race in the world - the Stawell Gift in Australia in 1981.

JULIUS CAESAR
The Rome season in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre opens with the
politics of spin and betrayal turning to violence. Caesar returns from
war, all-conquering, but mutiny is rumbling through the corridors of
power. Angus Jackson directs Shakespeare’s epic political tragedy, as
the race to claim the empire spirals out of control.
WEDNESDAY 24 May 7pm £14 [£12]
ANTONY & CLEOPATRA
Iqbal Khan directs Shakespeare’s tragedy of love and duty,
picking up the story where Julius Caesar ends. Following Caesar’s
assassination, Mark Antony has reached the heights of power. Now
he has neglected his empire for a life of decadent seduction with his
mistress, Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt. Torn between love and duty,
Antony’s military brilliance deserts him, and his passion leads the
lovers to their tragic end.

The decay of Rome reaches violent depths in Shakespeare’s
most bloody play. Titus is a ruler exhausted by war and loss, who
relinquishes power but leaves Rome in disorder. Shakespeare’s gory
revenge tragedy presents us with murder as entertainment, and,
as the body count piles up, poses questions about the nature of
sexuality, family, class and society.

PROGRAMME

stated otherwise
SATURDAY 11 February 4pm and SUNDAY 12 February 2.30pm
THURSDAY 23 February 6pm
Eric Summer, Éric Warin / France/Canada 2016 / 1h29m / U – Contains mild threat.
With the voices of Elle Fanning, Dane DeHaan, Maddie Ziegler, Carly Rae Jepsen.
Enchanting animated tale, set in 1879, which tells the
story of poor orphan Félicie (Elle Fanning) who dreams of
leaving rural Brittany to become a ballerina. She travels to
Paris and assumes the identity of a rich, spoiled girl to
become a student at the Paris Opera. Despite the tough
training and ruthless competition of her classmates, she
finds friendship and support from the mysterious school
caretaker Odette (Carly Rae Jepsen) and young inventor Victor (Dane DeHaan).
Joachim Lafosse / France/Belgium 2016 / 1h40m / French with English subtitles /
12A – Contains infrequent strong language.
Cast: Bérénice Bejo, Cédric Kahn, Marthe Keller, Jade Soentjens.
Marie (Bérénice Bejo) and Boris (Cédric Kahn) - a married
couple from opposite ends of the financial ladder - fall out
of love and are headed for divorce. Things hit an immediate
snag when Boris is unable to afford to move out of the
home they share with their two children. An uneasy
cohabitation begins and their opposing senses of
entitlement clash, with Boris demanding half of the property
he worked so hard on, despite Marie having paid for it. Joachim Lafosse’s family drama
is a compelling watch, as we observe the crumbling relics of a former love.
BALLERINA [2D]

veteran of World War I, Tom Sherbourne (Michael
Fassbender) keeps a lighthouse on the coast of Western
Australia, with his wife Isabel (Alicia Vikander), with whom
he unsuccessfully tries for a baby. When a rowboat washes
up on the shore, they discover a frightened baby girl on
board and decide to adopt her. When baby Lucy’s birth mother Hannah (Rachel
Weisz) appears, they are faced with the agonising choice between their newfound
joy and what is right.

Cast: Felicity Jones, Ben Mendelsohn, Forest Whitaker, Mads Mikkelsen, Diego Luna.
Set in the years preceding Star Wars: Episode IV - A New
Hope - Rogue One is the first of a new array of stories set
in a galaxy far, far away. Mercenary soldier and criminal
Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) finds herself recruited by the
Rebellion for a very special mission - to steal the Imperial
plans for the first Death Star - an adventure that will
ultimately set the events of the original trilogy into motion.
TUESDAY 14 February 6pm and SATURDAY 18 February 7pm
SUPERSONIC
Mat Whitecross / UK 2016 / 2h2m / 15 – Contains very strong language, drug references.
Documentary
Directed by Mat Whitecross, Supersonic documents the
journey from the moment in 1991 when Noel Gallagher
joined his brother Liam’s band. The two boys, who shared
a bedroom growing up, were now sharing a stage. In less
than three years Oasis would release their first album
Definitely Maybe - becoming the fastest-selling debut
album in British history to date. By 1996, Oasis announced
they were to play two nights at Knebworth Park. 2.6 million applied for tickets, the
band played to 125,000 fans each night - they could have played 20 nights.

drug misuse.
Cast: Brad Pitt, Marion Cotillard, August Diehl.
A sumptuous wartime romance - with a dash of intrigue
- from the director of Cast Away and Forrest Gump. Allied
is the story of a Canadian intelligence officer Max (Brad
Pitt) who encounters a French Resistance fighter Marianne
(Marion Cotillard) behind enemy lines in North Africa
(Casablanca, in fact). Reunited in London, they marry and
begin to build a life together. As wartime paranoia swirls
around them, however, the authorities contact Max, warning him that Marianne
may in fact be a German spy...

SATURDAY 25 February 4pm
MONSTER TRUCKS [2D]
Chris Wedge / USA 2016 / 1h44m / PG – Contains mild threat.
Cast: Lucas Till, Jane Levy, Rob Lowe, Amy Ryan, Danny Glover.
Looking for any way to get away from the life and town he
was born into, Tripp (Lucas Till), a high school senior, builds
a Monster Truck from bits and pieces of scrapped cars. After
an accident at a nearby oil-drilling site displaces a strange
and subterranean creature with a taste and a talent for
speed, Tripp may have just found the key to getting out of
his one-horse town and a most unlikely friend...
THURSDAY 9 February 6pm
TUESDAY 21 February 6pm, FRIDAY 24 February 2.30pm and 7pm and
SATURDAY 25 February 7pm
Anne Fontaine / France/Poland 2016 / 1h55m / French, Polish and Russian with English
subtitles / 15 – Contains sexual violence.
Cast: Lou de Laâge, Agata Buzek, Agata Kulesza, Joanna Kulig.
Mathilde Beaulieu (Lou de Lâage) is a young intern
working with a branch of the French Red Cross in
December 1945. They are on a mission to find, treat and
repatriate French survivors of German camps in the
aftermath of the war. One day, a Polish nun arrives in the
hospital, begging Mathilde to come to her convent.
Mathilde’s life and beliefs are challenged when she
discovers that several of the Sisters are in advanced stages of pregnancy. Anne
Fontaine’s film is beautifully performed, exquisitely shot and tenderly told.
Damien Chazelle / USA 2016 / 2h8m / 12A – Contains infrequent strong language.
Cast: Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, J.K. Simmons, Rosemarie DeWitt.
A drummer himself, Damien Chazelle (director of last year’s
brilliantly intense Whiplash) wrote La La Land in tribute to
the musicals he loves, while infusing elements of ‘city
symphony’ films and the hard realities of life, love and
being an artist. Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone - a jobbing
musician and aspiring actress respectively - meet and fall
for each other, and we are led through the stages of their
whirlwind romance as they chase their dreams, find success and meet its challenges.
All of the above is expressed through song, dance and big, bold homages to classic
movie musicals.
