Desperately Seeking Susan was suggested by our member Christopher Voisey, who writes: A film that will forever mean late-summer ’85. Madonna and Rosanna lead their men through an enchanted NYC – a life-affirming film of living your life and getting Into the Groove.’

After accidentally hitting her head, a bored housewife named Roberta (Rosanna Arquette) becomes an amnesiac, and is mistaken for a free-spirited woman named Susan (Madonna). With the help of her new friend Dez (Aidan Quinn), Roberta tries to avoid being killed by a mysterious man who is pursuing her; meanwhile, Roberta’s worried husband (Mark Blum) enlists Susan’s help in tracking her down.

Special offer:

This screening will be preceded by an ice tea tasting with The Tea Makers of London, who will take us through a selection of their teas that can be enjoyed over ice, and teach you the best ways of cold-brewing the perfect cuppa.

After the tasting finishes, you’ll be able to enjoy a complimentary glass of your favourite ice tea from our summer menu, and alongside this, our friends at Hackney Gelato are generously providing a free scoop of their delicious (and very summery) Alphonso mango sorbetto as a tasty sweet treat.

Tickets for the ice tea tasting are £12.50 each for members (restricted to 2 tickets per member), and £14.50 for non-members. They include the tea tasting, as well as a glass of ice tea and a scoop of sorbetto to enjoy afterwards.

A combo discount is available when adding both a ticket for the ice tea tasting and for the screening to your basket, which will reduce the film ticket price to just £8.50 (for members) or £12 (non-members). You can find out more and book for the ice tea tasting here.
