Little John Nee and Fionn Robinson are screening Buster Keaton’s 1924 silent comedy Sherlock Jr accompanied by a live soundtrack
Little John Nee and Fionn Robinson present a very special screening of Buster Keaton’s 1924 silent comedy Sherlock Jr accompanied by a live soundtrack at An Grianán Theatre this Thursday, October 5.
Suitable for all the family, the show starts at 8pm and tickets are only €12 each. In the film, Buster Keaton stars as a kindly movie projectionist who longs to be a detective. When his fiancée (Kathryn McGuire) is robbed by a local thief (Ward Crane), the poor projectionist is framed for the crime.
Using his amateur detective skills, the projectionist follows the thief to the train station — only to find himself locked in a train car. Disheartened, he returns to his movie theatre, where he falls asleep and dreams that he is the great Sherlock Holmes.
Little John Nee and his able assistant Fionn Robinson using the very latest in technology including gramophones, electrical musical instruments, modern valve amplification and fashionable synthetic sounds shall voyage over 100 years back in time in a courageous attempt to collaborate with the flickering ghosts of the early silver screen. Tickets can be got online at angrianan.com or on the door.
