An opportunity to view award winning documentary William S. Burroughs: A Man Within. Featuring exclusive interviews with his closest friends and colleagues, Leyser released William S. Burroughs: A Man Within at the age of 24. This film documents the life and work of Burroughs, “the first person who was famous for things you were supposed to hide.” The film is an unflinching exploration of one of the world’s first openly queer poets, junkies and challengers of censorship, demonstrating that Leyser is unafraid of looking at the dark corners, as well as the bright lights, of the queer experience. Variety Magazine wrote “Like his subject, Leyser strives to disengage from the conventional, while still being lucid. He succeeds admirably.” It screened on over 15 TV stations around the world as well as on Netflix. A Q&A with Yony Leyser will take place after the film screening, (duration 87 minutes.) Book on Eventbrite. Doors open at 2:00 pm and the film starts at 2:30 pm. This event will take place in the Theatre on the first floor and has no disabled access.

Gloucester Cathedral

358***33

Gloucester Cathedral is an ancient and spectacular mega-church in southern England, which became a place of pilgrimage 1300 years ago, and houses King Edward II of England. The church&rsquo;s Gothic architecture is beautiful, very spacious inside, with multiple different uses of size space, three floors to visit. The corridor outside the church is very grand, and it was used as a filming location for Harry Potter in 2002 and 2008 and is well worth visiting.
