Don't miss your chance to walk down the red (or in this case green) carpet at the Odeon, Leicester Square for what is set to be the premiere of the year. Tamara Drewe has already received outstanding reviews from its special screening out of competition at the Cannes festival. All of the cast are expected to attend the premiere, including Gemma Arterton and Dominic Cooper.
About Tamara Drewe
Based on Posy Simmonds’ much-loved graphic novel, which in turn was inspired by Thomas Hardy’s Far From the Madding Crowd, Tamara Drewe is a joyful but occasionally dark comedy about a young newspaper journalist torn between two lovers. Tamara’s childhood home is being sold, and her return to the rural Dorset village where she grew up causes something of a stir. Having left as an awkward teenager she returns as a smoldering femme fatale, kicking up a storm of envy, lust and gossip wherever she goes. Tamara is the ultimate modern girl but her story of love and confusion is timeless.

Director Stephen Frears, one of Britain’s finest talents known for The Queen and Mrs Henderson Presents, has cast Gemma Arterton (Quantum of Solace, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, St. Trinian’s) as Tamara, Dominic Cooper (An Education, Mamma Mia!), as the pouty, indie drummer, Roger Allam (The Queen, The Wind that Shakes the Barley) as the crime novelist and Luke Evans (Clash of the Titans, Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll) as the stolid farmhand. We are also thrilled that Children & the Arts’ Ambassador James Naughtie also makes an appearance.
Frears found having Posy Simmonds’ illustrations as a reference point an aid: “It was very, very liberating. Literally there was a storyboard if you chose to think about it like that. Frequently we would do things and you’d look at it in the book and say – Well, I can’t improve on that. It tells you everything you want to know.”
The premiere will take place on the 6th September 2010 at 6pm at The Odeon Leicester Square.
Please note: these tickets are not to be re-sold to any third party without Children & the Arts’ permission.
