A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

PLEASE NOTE: this performance is free entry but tickets will only be issued from the Box Office on the day of the screening. Elia Kazan’s heartwarming debut feature is a classic adaptation charting the turbulent life of an impoverished but resilient family living in a Brooklyn tenement from the viewpoint of teenager Francie. Elia Kazan’s heartwarming and humanistic debut feature centres on teenager Francie (Peggy Ann Garner) growing up with her impoverished family in the early 1900s. Francie dreams of a better life and adores her charming father (James Dunn) who is struggling with alchoholism, while her mother Katie (Dorothy McGuire) strives to put food on the table. Known for eliciting top performances (A Streetcar Named Desire and On The Waterfront), A Tree Grows in Brooklyn went on to win two acting Oscars® for Garner and Dunn. An enduring classic.
