The Astor Theatre
October 28th 2011 17:59
A once-grand lady, now withered and knurled with age, worn thin like an oft-washed chemise, print a bare impression, lace a suggestion of fraying strands – this is the Astor Theatre. She may be a dame of faded glamour but she’s lovely and witty and the stories she can tell..!
No-one can spin a tale like this holy art deco icon of Chapel. She may be a bit dingy, and her vertical neon signage isn’t always wholly a-blazing, but the charm of her musty, dignified, steadfastly ostentatious glory continues to appeal.
This is the place to go to see the black and whites and cult hits on the big screen. It’s the lair of cheap double-billings and new indie flicks, and is undoubtedly a favoured haunt of South-side cinema lovers.
Check out the brand new website (a huge improvement on the old haphazard one) to see what’s on, or take a look at this article by Joshua Samonini for all the information on next weekend’s marathon event – a special screening of the Back to the Future trilogy.
