Friday 14 November | Shaw House | 7.30pm | £12 West Berkshire Museum The Wharf Newbury RG14 5AS A Symphony of Horrors - The silent masterpiece with a brand-new live score. Having recently come to a new generation thanks to Robert Eggers' remake, Nosferatu (1922) is arguably the film that gave birth to the horror genre. Notable as the first cinematic interpretation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, its combination of expressionistic acting and unforgettable images renders it just as powerful and unsettling today as when it first thrilled cinema goers 100 years ago. Chris Green's new score was commissioned by English Heritage for a live outdoor screening of the film at Dracula's spiritual home of Whitby Abbey. The music is a haunting blend of electronic and acoustic instruments performed live by the composer and combined with FW Murnau's iconic images makes for a genuinely remarkable and unique cinematic experience. BBFC film rating PG (although not suitable for very young children). Duration 90 minutes plus 20-minute interval. Click here for a short preview: youtu.be/qXQAG-NXFQk... READ MORE>
