Gregory's Girl
PLEASE NOTE: this performance is free entry but tickets will only be issued from the Box Office on the day of the screening.
Bill Forsyth’s classic about a teenager (John Gordon Sinclair) who falls for the star player of the school football team (Dee Hepburn) is still top of the crowd-pleasing league more than 40 years on.
If there was a league for coming-of-age crowd-pleasers, Bill Forsyth’s Cumbernauld-set classic would surely take top spot. He perfectly articulates the awkwardness and sweetness of teenagehood, with a cast of newcomers who the nation took to its heart. Gregory (John Gordon Sinclair) falls head-over-heels for Dorothy, the new star player of the school football team (Dee Hepburn), even though she’s led to his demotion to goalie. Clare Grogan, meanwhile, shines as girl next-door charmer Susan. With its no-nonsense portrayal of growing pains, from lust to puppy love, Gregory’s Girl remains hilarious, heartfelt and sharply observant more than 40 years on.
