A double-bill of Golden Age classics: 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes' and 'Gilda' at Macrobert Arts Centre. From blonde bombshells to raven-haired femme fatales, the ‘blonde vs. brunette’ debate, popularised in Hollywood’s Golden Age, sees a woman’s hair colour directly linked to their on-screen persona. By revisiting two of Hollywood’s greatest icons, Rita Hayworth and Marilyn Monroe, in some of their most iconic roles, these screenings aim to transform the narrative of ‘blonde vs. brunette’ from a method of dividing women, into celebration of their individual strengths. Tickets for individual screenings are £6 each, or you can book the double bill for £10 and take part in a creative workshop, themed around the films, held between the two screenings. Ticket discount automatically applied at checkout.
