SUMMARY:An Evening with Ivor Novello (Performance+Silent film screening)
DESCRIPTION:A package of events celebrating Ivor Novello’s life and career:\n5.30pm Exhibition:  The Library and Archives of Magdalen College School will be exhibiting artefacts from the MCS archive relating to Ivor Novello’s life and career, including school records of his time at Magdalen College School.  Entrance to the display is free.\n6.30pm Celebrating Ivor Novello: From early years as a chorister at Magdalen College School, Ivor Novello went on to become the biggest figure in British theatre for much of the 1930s, 40s and 50s. He died 75 years ago, just hours after performing the lead role in one of his own smash-hit musicals. This much-loved icon of the stage and screen is less remembered now than most of his contemporaries. This evening, Mr Alex Thomas (Head of Drama) will be joined by MCS Old Waynfletes to recreate songs and scenes from his works to pay tribute to the man who was known in the industry as ‘Dear Ivor’.\nPurchase tickets for this performance here: Celebrating Ivor Novello\n9pm The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog – Silent Film Screening: Starring: Ivor Novello, Marie Ault, Arthus Chesney, Malcolm Keen, June Tripp\nScreenplay by Eliot Stannard, Directed by Alfred Hitchcock\nGripping and powerful. A woman screaming. A montage of images. A policeman taking down notes. A silent thriller based on the 1913 novel by Marie Belloc Lowndes, inspired by the Jack the Ripper murders in 1888. Directed by a young Alfred Hitchcock, it is many times regarded as ‘the first true Hitchcock movie’.\nPurchase tickets for silent film screening here: The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog (1927)\nPurchase package ticket via this link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/an-evening-with-ivor-novello-performancesilent-film-screening-tickets-1988921165747?aff=oddtdtcreator\n
