Fried Green Tomatoes is a comedy-drama film (1991 USA) based on the novel “Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe” by Fannie Flagg.

Set in Alabama, it tells the story of a depression-era friendship between two women, Ruth and Idgie, and a 1980s friendship between Evelyn, a middle-aged housewife, and Ninny, an elderly woman who knew Ruth and Idgie. The centrepiece and parallel story concerns the murder of Ruth's abusive husband and the accusations that follow.

Directed by Jon Avnet and written by Fannie Flagg and Carol Sobieski, it stars Kathy Bates, Jessica Tandy, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Mary-Louise Parker. Classification PG 13 and it lasts for 160 minutes.

Admission £5. Refreshments are available and you are also welcome to bring your own refreshments (inc. alcholic) and cushions.
