Celtic Film Series - Gregory's Girl November 5, 2008

Coming of age in Scotland results in comedic entanglements in Gregory's Girl, the Bill Forsythe-directed romantic comedy shown on Wednesday, November 5 at 7 p.m. It will be presented free of charge in the Williamsburg Library Theatre, 515 Scotland Street. For more information, contact the library at (757) 259-4070.

In his Scottish New Town home, gangling Gregory and his schoolfriends are starting to find out about girls. He fancies Dorothy, not least because she is on the soccer team - and is a better player than him. He finally asks her out, but it is obviously the females in control of matters here, and that very much includes Gregory's younger sister. The 1981 film is rated PG and won a number of British film awards.

Williamsburg Regional Library presents the Celtic Film Series, now in its ninth season, in cooperation with the local chapters of the St. Andrews Society and the Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians. The series explores the history, drama and quirky humor of films made in or about Scotland and Ireland.
