This is Spinal Tap

Overview

Turn it up to 11 with This is Spinal Tap; the cult classic mock-umentary film starring Harry Shearer as front man Derek Smalls.

In 1982, the legendary English heavy metal band Spinal Tap attempt an American comeback tour, accompanied by a fan who is also a film-maker.

The resulting documentary, interspersed with powerful performances of Tap's pivotal music and profound lyrics, candidly follows a rock group heading towards crisis, culminating in the infamous affair of the eighteen-inch-high Stonehenge stage prop.

This screening is followed by an Q&A with Harry Shearer and Tim Rogers.

Tickets will be available from 9 May.
