Past event: ROMEO + JULIET (12A)

At The Gonville Hotel

3/9/2016

How​ ​lovely​ ​it​ ​was​ ​to​ ​get​ ​Baz​ ​Luhrmann’s​ ​critically​ ​acclaimed​ ​1996​ ​adaptation​ ​of​ ​Shakespeare’s 
tragedy​ ​back​ ​on​ ​the​ ​big​ ​screen.​ ​Starring​ ​Leonardo​ ​DiCaprio​ ​and​ ​Claire​ ​Danes​ ​as​ ​the​ ​world’s 
most​ ​famous​ ​star-crossed​ ​lovers​ ​we​ ​watched​ ​their​ ​fates​ ​unfold​ ​under​ ​the​ ​stars.  
 
Luhrmann​ ​is​ ​one​ ​of​ ​our​ ​favourite​ ​directors​ ​and​ ​it​ ​was​ ​really​ ​exciting​ ​to​ ​share​ ​a​ ​masterpiece​ ​like 
this​ ​with​ ​a​ ​lovely​ ​Enchanted​ ​Cinema​ ​audience​ ​in​ ​such​ ​a​ ​beautiful​ ​Cambridge​ ​setting.​ ​With​ ​live 
music​ ​from​ ​local​ ​musicians​ ​playing​ ​acoustic​ ​sets​ ​it​ ​set​ ​a​ ​beautiful​ ​tone​ ​for​ ​a​ ​film​ ​with​ ​a​ ​truly 
beautiful​ ​soundtrack. 
 
The​ ​balcony​ ​of​ ​the​ ​private​ ​suite​ ​of​ ​The​ ​Gonville​ ​Hotel​ ​acted​ ​as​ ​a​ ​backdrop​ ​for​ ​the​ ​Enchanted 
Cinema​ ​Bar​ ​and​ ​it​ ​looked​ ​just​ ​perfect​ ​lit​ ​up​ ​in​ ​fairy​ ​lights,​ ​reminding​ ​us​ ​of​ ​that​ ​iconic​ ​balcony 
scene. 
 
What​ ​a​ ​wonderful​ ​summer’s​ ​evening​ ​of​ ​romance,​ ​drinks,​ ​popcorn,​ ​a​ ​beautiful​ ​sunset​ ​and​ ​plenty 
of​ ​fizz​ ​and​ ​film!
