ALAN Bennett’s sharp and hilarious new play Allelujah! will be broadcast at Cardigan’s Theatr Mwldan on Monday, November 12 (7pm).

Described as ‘just what the doctor ordered’ (Daily Telegraph) and filmed live at London’s Bridge Theatre during its limited run, don’t miss this ‘rousing chorus line for the NHS’ (Observer).

The Beth, an old fashioned cradle-to-grave hospital serving a town on the edge of the Pennines, is threatened with closure as part of an efficiency drive.

A documentary crew, eager to capture its fight for survival, follows the daily struggle to find beds on the Dusty Springfield Geriatric Ward, and the triumphs of the old people’s choir.

Alan Bennett’s celebrated plays include The History Boys, The Lady in the Van and The Madness of George III, all of which were also seen on film. Allelujah! is his 10th collaboration with award-winning director Nicholas Hytner.

Tickets for National Theatre Live screenings are priced at £12.50 full price (£11.50 concessions) and are available now from Theatr Mwldan’s box office on 01239 621200, on-line at www.mwldan.co.uk or via the Mwldan app.
