Filmed live at London’s Bridge Theatre during its limited
run, don’t miss Alan Bennett's ‘rousing chorus line for the NHS’ (Observer) in
your local cinema. 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 tenth collaboration with
award-winning director Nicholas Hytner. Please note, this production
includes strong language throughout.
