Purple Rain
2026-04-18 19:00 - 21:00
In 1984, Prince didn’t just release an album — he unleashed a phenomenon. Purple Rain became a cultural lightning bolt, blending music, drama and autobiography into one of the most iconic rock films ever made.

The Story:Prince stars as “The Kid,” a gifted but troubled Minneapolis musician navigating rivalry, romance and a turbulent home life while fighting to keep his band — The Revolution — on top at a local nightclub. At its heart, Purple Rain is about finding your voice, breaking cycles, and turning pain into art.

Why It Matters:

Made on a modest budget of around $7 million, the film grossed over $70 million worldwide.

The soundtrack became one of the best-selling albums of all time, spending 24 consecutive weeks at No. 1 in the US.

It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song Score.

The legendary title track “Purple Rain” was recorded live at Minneapolis’ First Avenue club — the very venue that inspired the film’s setting.

Marking ten years since Prince’s passing, this screening is more than a movie night — it’s a celebration of a once-in-a-generation artist whose style, sound and fearless individuality still electrify the screen.

Let’s go crazy… one more time. 💜

Morning Memories - The South Australian Police Band in Concert

Stories from Screen & Stage

The concert celebrates music that has shaped our shared cultural memory — told through cinema, theatre, and some of the great musical storytellers of our time. Across two carefully balanced acts, the programme journeys from the wit and sparkle of Candide to the sweeping landscapes of Lawrence of Arabia, the glamour of James Bond, and the heartfelt optimism of Chariots of Fire.

Along the way, there are band features, vocal highlights, and solo moments that showcase the versatility and colour of the ensemble — drawing on Broadway classics, Hollywood favourites, and timeless songs that speak directly to the heart. It’s designed to feel familiar, uplifting, and distinctly cinematic, allowing audiences to reconnect with music they know while enjoying the scale and colour of a full concert band.

Marilyn Monroe's 100th Birthday - double feature
2026-06-07 14:00 - 17:35
Diamonds may be forever… but icons are once in a century.

Join us as we celebrate the 100th birthday of Hollywood’s ultimate blonde bombshell, Marilyn Monroe, with a dazzling double feature on the big screen.

First, it’s the sparkling, show-stopping glamour of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, where Monroe’s Lorelei Lee teaches us all that diamonds are a girl’s best friend (and that pink satin never goes out of style). Then we turn up the heat with The Seven Year Itch, featuring that subway-grate scene — the white dress, the breeze, the moment that defined movie history.

From her comic timing to her vulnerability, from Technicolor musical numbers to Manhattan mischief, Marilyn remains one of cinema’s most enduring stars. A century on, she still glows on the big screen exactly as she was meant to.

So slip into something fabulous, gather your best girlfriends (or your best leading man), and celebrate 100 years of sparkle, sass and silver-screen magic.

Because some like it hot… but we prefer it on the Capri screen.

Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were Rabbit - Kid's Nostalgia Event
2026-06-14 14:00 - 16:00
Dust off your bunny ears and round up the family for an afternoon of old-school fun at the Capri!

We’re kicking things off with a classic cartoon to warm up those giggles, before stepping back in time for a short silent comedy brought gloriously to life by John Slater on the mighty WurliTzer theatre organ. There’s nothing quite like the sound of pipes, pedals and playful melodies filling the Art Deco auditorium — just as it did in cinema’s golden age.

Then it’s time for cheese, chaos and colossal carrots as we screen the beloved claymation adventure Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. When a mysterious beast starts terrorising Tottington’s vegetable gardens, eccentric inventor Wallace and his long-suffering (and much smarter) dog Gromit must hop into action. Expect cracking contraptions, British wit, and more Wensleydale references than you can shake a celery stick at.

It’s a celebration of screen nostalgia for kids and grown-ups alike — cartoons, silent comedy, live organ music and a modern animated classic, all under one beautifully restored 1920s roof.

Big laughs. Big carrots. Big organ sound.

Book early — this one’s bound to multiply! 🐰🎬
