Cowra Civic Centre | | WHAT’S ON AT THE MOVIES
THIS WEEKEND |  | LIMBO
★★★★★ “Witty, poignant, marvellously composed” THE GUARDIAN
★★★★★ “Sublime… will break and remake you” TIME OUT
★★★★★ “Remarkably funny” OBSERVER (UK)
Nominated for two BAFTA® awards for Best British Film and Best Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer, Limbo is a funny and poignant cross-cultural satire that subtly sews together the hardship and hope of the refugee experience.
Omar is a promising young musician. Separated from his Syrian family, he is stuck on a remote Scottish island awaiting the fate of his asylum request, and wanders the epic landscape searching for answers to a complex past and unknown future.
He may be stuck, but he is not alone. Omar and his new flatmates attend hilariously misjudged ‘cultural awareness’ classes. They binge the Friends boxset, debating whether Ross and Rachel were on a break. And Freddie Mercury-obsessed Farhad tries to convince Omar to participate in the local open mic night.

Sunday 23 January at 10:30am | |  | National Theatre Live: LEOPOLDSTADT
★★★★★ ‘Tom Stoppard’s masterpiece. Magnificent’ Independent
★★★★ ‘Tom Stoppard delivers an unforgettable play from the heart’ Telegraph
★★★★ ‘Devastatingly moving’ Jewish Chronicle
Regarded as ‘Britain’s greatest living playwright’ (Times), Tony and Academy Award-winner Tom Stoppard’s critically acclaimed new play Leopoldstadt is a passionate drama of love, family and endurance. At the beginning of the 20th century, Leopoldstadt was the old, crowded Jewish quarter in Vienna, Austria. But Hermann Merz, a factory owner and baptised Jew now married to Catholic Gretl, has moved up in the world.
We follow his family’s story across half a century, passing through the convulsions of war, revolution, impoverishment, annexation by Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. A company of 40 actors represent each generation of the family in this epic, but intimate play.
Filmed live on stage in London’s West End, this live performance on screen should not be missed.
SPECIAL OFFER
Enjoy a complimentary glass of wine, beer or soft drink with every ticket purchased to see Leopoldstadt this Saturday night. Proof of age may be required. Drink Responsibly.

COFFEE CONCERT
LANDSCAPES & KITCHEN TABLES
With Nerida Cuddy and Genni Kane
Join us at Cowra Civic Centre for a cuppa, a scone and great live music.
Landscapes & Kitchen Tables is a musical celebration of home, of the vast landscape that surrounds us, of our lives and the moments shared around the kitchen table.
Nerida Cuddy’s stories-in-song are a well-balanced mix of bittersweet tales of life with tasty lashings of humour, generous and fun. Detailed guitar accompany her warm and passionate voice. She has been described as “a Central West Mary Black”; a “prolific songwriter”, and “a composer and musician with not only an ear for music, but a social conscience and a sense of humour” - ABC Central West. Nerida will perform original songs including those from her 2021 album Woven.
Genni Kane’s happy place is her kitchen table - welcoming family and friends to the heart of her home. It’s the place to share food, wine and great coffee; to laugh and cry and play music and tell stories. And it’s the place she writes most of her music. Genni will perform songs from her new album Songs from the Kitchen Table, a collection of originals about life, loss, chickens…all the good things! Performing with Genni are Jon Wilby (guitar, mandolin and vocals) and Christian Prusiak (bass and vocals).
Both a hit at many folk music festivals, we invite you to join Nerida and Genni as they traverse the landscape and welcome you for a cuppa round the kitchen table.
