A MUCH-LOVED film will be given a new lease of life when it is screened with the accompaniment of a live orchestra at Poole's Lighthouse.

Love Actually, a Christmas favourite, will be screened on Friday November 30 in the centre's concert hall.

Directed by Richard Curtis and originally released in cinemas in 2003, Love Actually tells ten separate yet interweaving stories of love around Christmas time.

The film features an all-star cast, including Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Laura Linney, Bill Nighy, Martine McCutcheon, Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, Keira Knightley Rowan Atkinson and Martin Freeman.

A full, live orchestra will perform Craig Armstrong’s evocative score at these shows, with the film being projected onto a huge screen. Armstrong is one of the UK’s most recognised film composers, with his work being awarded a BAFTA for his Achievement in Film Music.

Tickets cost from £39.50 to £65 and are available from 01202 280000 or lighthousepoole.co.uk
