Hans Zimmer's Hollywood 1925 - 2025 - A Centenary Celebration of Film Music

Inspired by the film Interstellar (2014), our show time-warps cinema history, intersplicing modern film music with silent cinematography as we travel through cinema history. With live music including Hans Zimmer’s film scores for Batman and The Da Vinci Code; John Williams’ Jurassic Park, Jaws, Star Wars, Harry Potter and Schindler’s List; Ennio Morricone’s Cinema Paradiso and Gabriel’s Oboe and Joe Hisashi’s Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle. Includes digital cameos from Hollywood icons Charlie Chaplin and Greta Garbo. 'Enlightening' ★★★★★ (EdinburghGuide.com), 'An atmosphere which is all too often missed in our digital world' ★★★★★ (CorrBlimey.com). 'Masters of their crafts' ★★★★★(BingeFringe.com).
