Arsenic and Old Lace
Sun 20 Nov 2022 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM GMT
Former Bristol IMAX, Bristol Aquarium, Anchor Rd, Bristol BS1 5TT
Description
Our festival finale features this breathless comedy classic which will blow away the November cobwebs. Newly-wed drama critic Mortimer Brewster (Cary Grant) frantically tries to embark on his honeymoon with impatient new bride (Priscilla Lane), but has to contend with his well-meaning but ditzy old aunts (Josephine Hull and Jean Adair), who have been bumping off lonely elderly gentlemen with their lethal elderberry wine (spiked with arsenic, strychnine and “just a pinch of cyanide”).
Sliding Scale: Pay What You Can Afford
Please note for the screenings at the Former Bristol IMAX, we're piloting a Sliding Scale Ticket Price - Pay What You Can Afford, as we want to offer as many people as possible the opportunity to see these wonderful films on the largest screen in Bristol!
What Should I Pay?
You can choose what you pay based on your circumstances - you won’t be asked for any proof / ID, we just ask that you are honest. The recommended price tickets reflect the true cost of delivering our programmes. We offer tickets higher than this for those who are in the privileged position of being able to pay-it-forward.
Please be mindful that if you purchase a ticket at the lowest end of the scale when you can truthfully afford a higher ticket price, you are limiting access to those who truly can't afford to pay.
Free – Can't Afford to Pay
- refugees, asylum seekers and those who can’t afford to meet their basic needs* and have no expendable income**
£5 – Young People / Concession
- under 30s, students, aged 63+, unemployed, NHS, Emergency Services and Military
£8.50 – Adult / Recommended Full price
- People with expendable income** who are comfortably able to meet all of their basic* needs
£15 – Pay it forward
- People who fit the criteria of the Full Price ticket who want to use some of their disposable income to support Cary Comes Home so that people less fortunate can have subsidised tickets.

**EXPENDABLE INCOME might mean you are able to buy coffee or tea at a shop, go to the cinema or a concert, buy new clothes, books and similar items each month, etc.
