I Play Rocky

I Play Rocky is screening at the Weymouth Pavilion from Sunday 29 November to Tuesday 1 December, with three separate showings across the run. It's a true story about an unknown actor who believed he was meant to play Rocky Balboa, not just write him. Told 'no' at every turn, Sylvester Stallone bet everything on himself and held the line on playing the lead against seemingly impossible odds, turning his own journey into the ultimate underdog story behind the ultimate underdog movie.

If you've seen Rocky a few times, this is the story of how it actually got made. It's less about the boxing and more about the years of struggle that came before the first bell, and the one role Stallone refused to let go of even when everyone else had written him off. It's that classic underdog setup, but this time the underdog is the man behind the character.

The film is certified 12A and runs for 2 hours and 8 minutes, so it's a full evening's watch. There are three different times to choose from, so you can pick the one that fits your schedule: Sunday 29 November at 7pm, Monday 30 November at 1pm, and Tuesday 1 December at 4pm. All three are in the Main Auditorium, and tickets are £5.
