Synopsis

Deadwood, South Dakota, is largely the abode of men, but frontier scout Calamity Jane is as hard-riding, boastful and handy with a gun as any. Jane’s wild promises set her off in search of a beautiful singer to grace the stage at the Golden Garter saloon, but her triumphant return to town might be tainted when she inadvertently introduces a feminine rival to the man she loves.

About Memory Matinees

These screenings have been designed to be inclusive to those living with dementia, as well as family members and carers. Our Memory Matinees screenings are rooted in the idea that a trip to the cinema is a powerful way for people to reconnect with memories.

During the film, the house lights will be raised slightly and the sound level will be slightly lower than normal. Our trained staff and volunteers will be on hand throughout the screenings to assist, but please note that pastoral care is not provided, a friend, family member or carer must also attend.

Our cinema, the Electric Palace, is a heritage building and as such, some of our accessibility arrangements are limited. Please contact the venue or your local organising group in advance if you are a wheelchair user or have difficulty with steps and wish to attend. Please also bring extra warm layers with you in case you need them.

Transport
If you require transport please contact Harwich Connexions on 01255 552010 for further information.

How to book

Tickets are free of charge to partner organisations and their users but there will be a voluntary collection on the door.
