The Paper Cinema
Rock Charmer & Night Flyer

Fascinating and imaginative storytellers, The Paper Cinema create extraordinary, magical worlds with vivid pen and ink drawings, intricate paper puppetry, and a treasure trove of acoustic and electronic sounds.

This show will feature the dream-like Night Flyer and the enchanting Rock Charmer, which is set against the backdrop of Dorset's rugged Jurassic coastline and delves into the legends inspired by the area’s rich geological history.

It’s 1947 and you are all actors and actresses who have been invited to a party being held to celebrate the resumption of film making at Pynewood Studios after the War. The auditions for Stefan Spellbinder’s the latest blockbusting movie “Dying to tell You” are to be held in the morning and everyone who is anyone in the film world will be at tonight’s “star studded” gala. Why not come in 1940s costume or black tie?

Join us for an evening of spoken word, prose, poetry, and visual arts!

Expect powerful words, creative energy, and a welcoming space to share and experience art in all its forms. 

Whether you’re performing or just soaking it in, we’d love to see you there!

Presented by All Wax All Wick.
