Graham Reynolds stole plenty of hearts with his one-man show at the Hare and Hounds during last year’s Flatpack. We loved it so much that we’ve invited him back again, this time accompanying a masterpiece of silent cinema.

A serial killer is on the loose in fog-bound London, murdering a series of blonde women. The Bunting family suspect that their mysterious upstairs tenant (Ivor Novello) may have something to do with the killings. Made on the cusp of the sound era and full of the suspense and visual flourishes that would become his trademark, the film’s director described The Lodger as ‘the first true Hitchcock movie.’

Graham Reynolds is a multitalented musician and composer from Austin Texas. As well as creating scores for a number of Richard Linklater’s films including A Scanner Darkly and Before Midnight, he has worked across ballet, theatre and opera. His latest solo album Mountain is out on Fire Records.

What are Solidarity tickets?

We recognise that not everyone has equal access to live events and that the cost of entry is a barrier to some people. Solidarity tickets are free tickets available for anyone who needs it. If you're not sure whether that's you, refer to our guide below (thank you to Matchbox Cineclub for sharing this guide).

Solidary tickets are for you if you agree with any of the following statements:

  • I frequently stress about meeting basic needs (including food, clothing, housing and transportation) and don’t always achieve them.
  • I have debt and it sometimes prohibits me from meeting my basic needs.
  • I rent lower-end properties or have unstable housing.
  • I sometimes can’t afford public or private transport. If I own a car/have access to a car, I am not always able to afford petrol.
  • I am unemployed or underemployed.
  • I qualify for government and/or voluntary assistance including: food banks and benefits.
  • I have no access to savings.
  • I have no or very limited expendable income (expendable income might mean you are able to buy tea or coffee at a shop, go to the cinema or a concert, buy new clothes, books and similar items each month etc.)
  • I rarely buy new items because I am unable to afford them.
  • I cannot afford a holiday or have the ability to take time off without financial burden.
