It’s the 1920s, a time before X or Twitter and YouTube when if you wanted to vent your rage, you had to write a letter - and in the seaside town of Littlehampton, someone is doing just that!
Wicked Little Letters is based on the true story of two neighbours; the deeply conservative Edith Swan, played by the remarkable Olivia Colman and rowdy Irish migrant Rose Gooding, played by Jessie Buckley. When Edith and her fellow residents start to receive letters full of unintentionally hilarious profanities, foul-mouthed Rose is charged with the crime. The anonymous letters prompt a national uproar, and a trial ensues. However, as the town’s women, led by Police Officer Gladys Moss, begin to investigate the crime, they suspect that something is amiss, and Rose might not be the culprit after all.
Filmed in Arundel and Worthing, so hopefully lots to recognise, and being described as “The British Comedy of the Year”, Wicked Little Letters is one not to miss. The film will be showing at Ferring Village Hall.
Tickets are £6 and available at the North Ferring Co-Op, the Premier Stores in South Ferring, and on the door on the night. Ticket price includes tea, coffee or a soft drink and biscuits. Doors open at 6.30pm for a prompt 7pm start.
