Come along and watch one of Buster Keaton’s earliest feature films as director paired with an uproarious score by gypsy-bluegrass ensemble Blue Grassy Knoll.
When he inherits the family home, Willie McKay (Buster Keaton) packs his bags and boards a train for a small town in the Appalachian Mountains. During the train journey, Willie coyly sits beside Virginia Canfield (played by Buster Keaton’s real-life wife Natalie Talmadge). The pair quietly fall in love across the journey, but unbeknownst to the pair, their family’s have a decades long feud. The Canfields have murder on their minds and the moment Willie steps off the train, his life is in danger.
This very special outdoor screening and performance is free to attend. Arrive early to grab a deckchair or bring your own chair or picnic rug.
