Dementia-friendly screening of the 1972 film 'Cabaret' with an introduction and sing-along led by Tim Tubbs, with free admission for companions and carers.
The McCarthy is showing Cabaret on Friday 20 November, as part of its dementia-friendly cinema programme. It's the 1972 version, rated 15, and it's being screened in Scarborough.
If you're not familiar with how these work, a dementia-friendly screening is set up to make the cinema a bit easier for people living with dementia and their companions. The lights stay up a little, the sound is kept at a comfortable level, and there's more room to move around if you need it. It's the same film as always, just with a few changes to the environment so it's less overwhelming.
This one has a bit extra to it, too. Tim Tubbs will be there to introduce the film and lead a sing-along, so you can join in with the music rather than just watching from your seat. Cabaret is a big one for that — it's built around its songs, and having someone lead the way makes it a shared thing rather than a solitary one. If you've seen it before, it's a good excuse to revisit; if it's your first time, it's a friendly way to get into it.

One of the best bits is that companions and carers go free, which makes it much easier to bring someone along. It's on Friday 20 November at The McCarthy in Scarborough, with Tim Tubbs on the introduction and the sing-along.
