Camp at the Cinema: All That Heaven Allows (1955) Storyhouse, Chester
A resonant critique of 1950’s suburban attitudes to class and conformity, directed by the master of melodrama Douglas Sirk.
Jane Wyman stars as Cary, a well-off widow who falls in love with a younger gardener (Rock Hudson), much to the disgust of her adult children and snobbish country club ‘friends’. Will she follow her heart and risk becoming the focus of small-town gossip? Or will she sacrifice her relationship to follow society’s expectations?
Part of Camp at the Cinema, a series of funny, engaging and insightful cinema talk and screening events with a difference.

Camp at the Cinema: Showgirls (1995)
Showgirls directed by Paul Verhoeven (Robocop, Starship Troopers), returns to cinemas for its 30th anniversary in dazzling 4K. Ridiculed on its release in 1995, Showgirls was slated for its over the top performances, wild plot, nudity and ridiculous script. However, this box office flop has since been reclaimed as a LGBTIA+ community to enjoy its rightful status as a campy cult classic and exploration of American excess.
