100th Anniversary screening of Harold Lloyd – Hot Water - with live musical accompaniment by Meg Morley AND film introduction by Suzanne Lloyd

  • The Brampton Museum & Art Gallery Brampton Road Newcastle, England, ST5 0QP United Kingdom (map)

We are delighted to offer a special 100th anniversary screening of Harold Lloyd’s 1924 silent comedy Hot Water.  This screening will feature a special introduction by Suzanne Lloyd, granddaughter of Harold Lloyd.

Hot Water is a hilarious domestic-life comedy directed by Fred C. Newmeyer and Sam Taylor which features three episodes in the life of Hubby (Lloyd) as he struggles with domestic life with Wifey (Jobyna Ralston) and his in-laws.

It is the only film where Harold played a married man, as he felt that being a single romantic guy chasing the girl had more comic value!

We welcome back Australian-born London-based pianist/composer/improviser Meg Morley, who will deliver live musical accompaniment to Hot Water.

Meg has regularly performed at various international film festivals and received numerous solo piano commissions. We are proud to say that Meg has performed at EVERY Pocket Film Festival either performing as a solo artist, as a duo or as part of her jazz trio. This year she will provide live piano accompaniment to a series of classic silent films celebrating their 100th anniversaries.
