BARONY THEATRE, Borrowstoun Road
Bo'ness EH51 9RS
HippFest Community Screening
A riotous double bill featuring two women who delight in defying convention and turning the tables on the men who just don't measure up.
Cow-girl Ann (Fay Tincher) is Rowdy by name and rowdy by nature, so her father packs her off to college hoping she will 'larn to be a lady'. The tutors try to smooth Ann's 'rough corners' but you can't keep a good woman down and it's not long before she is putting the men in their place. In our second film, Florence Turner plays widowed landlady Mrs Waters. One of her regulars fancies the easy life and hatches a dodgy plan to win a place in her heart (or rather a stake in her assets). But he has underestimated the indomitable Mrs W, who has a plan of her own.

Our HippFest Community Screening double-bill is a teaser for three must-see programmes at the Hippodrome during the festival: 'Gender Rebels' on Friday 18 March part of our #NastyWomen strand, co-curated by Maggie Hennefeld and Laura Horak; plus two events celebrating Britain's most celebrated female screenwriter of the silent era: Lydia Hayward and the Boatswain's Mate; and Not for Sale on Saturday 19 March.
