The Truman Show

1998​​​​​

The Truman Show 1998 CERT PG

He's the star of the show... but he doesn't know. Jim Carrey wowed critics and audiences alike as unwitting Truman Burbank in this marvel of a movie from director Peter Weir (Witness, Dead Poets Society) about a man whose life is a nonstop TV show. Truman doesn't realize that his quaint hometown is a giant studio set run by a visionary producer/director/creator (Ed Harris), that folks living and working there are Hollywood actors, that even his incessantly bubbly wife is a contract player. Gradually, Truman gets wise. And what he does about his discovery will have you laughing, crying and cheering like few film stories ever have.

St Mary's Lighthouse:

It's a special space to watch a film and in fact dictates the dates of our festival each year (tide wise) !
The screenings take place in the room on the first floor, to the side of the tower (not in the tower itself). Access is via a flight of stairs.
Unfortunately there is no disabled access to our screenings in this venue. 

The venue is not a traditional screening space. It seats around 45 and gets quite warm...
Care must be taken when leaving the island across the causeway, in the dark. Staff are there to assist if required.

We find that the option of ordering fish and chips at a Lighthouse screening is very popular If you'd like to order fish and chips (some Lighthouse events only) please arrive at the stated 'doors opening' time. Pantrini's deliver the orders during the screening (we try and be discreet when alerting you in the dark, so choosing side aisle seats would help us greatly with this).

We'd like to thank Adam Kelsey (Lighthouse Manager) for his continued support with these screenings over the years. Thank you!

Thanks to North Tyneside Council.
