A DOUBLE event will give people the chance to see an acclaimed film and hear from the author who penned the novel on which it was based.

The Friends of Dame Laura Knight Society in association with Malvern Theatres have organised a screening of Summer in February at the Grange Road venue at 10.30am on Tuesday, October 8.

It will be followed by a talk in the cinema from 1.30pm by Jonathan Smith, who took part in the production of the film and will talk about how he came to write the book and about the process of turning the book into a film.

A question and answer session will close the event.

Tickets for the film are £4.50 and £5 for the talk.
