The historic St Mary’s Church provides the atmospheric setting for a unique and immersive screening of the classic silent film Faust.
Experience the 1926 film – which follows the demon Mephisto (Emil Jannings) as he tries to corrupt old alchemist Faust (Gösta Ekman), who is desperately trying to save his village from a plague in a completely new way only at Hay Festival Winter Weekend.
Organist and composer Father Richard Williams, former vicar of St Mary’s Church in Hay-on-Wye, provides soaring live accompaniment on the church’s Bevington Organ in an evening that calls on the nostalgia of the old school cinema experience.
This event includes an interval. Interval drinks may be purchased from the bar inside St Mary’s Church
