"A SINGLE MAN"
Saturday 25 September at Clun Memorial
Hall at 7.30 pm
In Los Angeles
1962, at the height of the Cuban missile crisis George Falconer, a
52
year old British college professor is struggling to find meaning to his
life after the death of his long time partner, Jim. George
dwells on the past and cannot see his future as we follow him through a
single day, where a series of events and encounters, ultimately lead him
to decide if there is a meaning to life after Jim. George is
consoled by his closest friend Charley, a 48 year old beauty who is
wrestling with her own questions about the future. A young student of
George's, Kenny, who is coming to terms with his true nature, stalks
George as he feels in him a kindred spirit. A romantic tale of love
interrupted the isolation that is an inherent part of the human condition
and ultimately the importance of the seemingly smaller moments in life.
