Screenings of the comedy fable 'Wicker', directed by Eleanor Wilson and Alex Huston Fischer and starring Olivia Colman, about a fisherwoman who commissions a wicker husband.
Wicker opens at Odeon Stoke on Sunday 8 November, and it's running daily through to 12 November. It's a comedic fable about sex, marriage and the absurdities of social convention, and it's got a cast that'll make you want to see it just for the names on the bill: Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgård, Peter Dinklage, Elizabeth Debicki and Marli Siu.
The story is set on the outskirts of a seaside village and centres on a Fisherwoman who's smelly, single and perpetually ridiculed. Fed up with her stuffy, small-minded neighbours, she takes matters into her own hands and commissions herself a husband made of wicker. In a town as conservative as this one, that's exactly the kind of unconventional romance that sparks outrage, jealousy and chaos. It's a comedy that looks at the things we're told to expect from marriage and what happens when someone decides to ignore them entirely.
