They also aim to put on at least one live show a year. Sebunctious Promotions has been in existence as an entity since 2004 although the village hall has screened film and promoted live shows since the late nineties. Any surplus profits after paying for the promotions, hire of the hall and publicity, are passed to the village hall to help with maintenance costs. Thanks to grants and fundraising Sebunctious Promotions owns all the screening equipment for films. There is a large screen, projector, dvd and BlueRay..players; a hearing loop for the hard of hearing. We can also provide P.A. input for computer leads for presentations etc. We have 7.1 surround sound. For forthcoming films Click Here

Pop-Up Opera
"Don Pasquale
www.popupopera.co.uk
Saturday 27 April 7.30 pm at Clun Memorial Hall
Don Pasquale
by Donizetti is a comic opera of love, parents, and in-laws.
The story of a young man, Ernesto, in love with the beautiful but
penniless Norina. Ernesto’s
uncle, Don Pasquale, a wealthy land owner opposes the match and chooses a
more suitable girl for Ernesto to marry.
Ernesto refuses; the Don decides he will cut Ernesto out of his
will; he plans to marry to produce sons.
Ernesto enlists the help of his uncle’s doctor, Malatesta (Doctor
Headache) to dupe the Don into allowing Ernesto to marry Norina.
Malatesta presents to the Don his
demure ‘sister’ Sofronia, apparently a shy novice from the convent.
She is really Norina in disguise. Pasquale is enchanted; they are
married in a fake ceremony.
The ceremony over, ’Sofronia becomes a shrew.
She turns the Don’s life upside down, spends his money, demands to
be waited on hand and foot.
Completely miserable, Don Pasquale is so relieved when the plot is
revealed, that he consents to the marriage of Norina and Ernesto.
Pop-Up Opera makes opera fun, and
engages the audience with their informal style.
“... a performance of Don Pasquale that fulfilled the aim of making opera
enjoyable and inviting, without diminishing the quality of the music”
(Opera Magazine). “An arsenal of talent” (The Times)
