Valley Film Society presents, Keeping Mum
Fountain Theatre,
2469 Calle de Guadalupe, Mesilla. Nightly at 7:30 pm and Sunday matinee
at 2:30 pm only. Forty-three years ago, a beautiful young blonde, Rosie
Jones, boards a train with a large leather-bound trunk, from which a large
pool of blood slowly issues. Arrested, Rosie’s sentenced to life in a prison
for the criminally insane, for murdering and chopping up two people. Cut
to today and the genteel village of Little Wallop (pop. 57), where the
Goodfellow family resides. Dad Walter is the local vicar, somewhat forgetful
and endlessly harried by an aged nosy neighbor, Mrs. Parker. Mom Gloria
is bored out of her brain. Enter the aged Grace Hawkins, the family’s new
housekeeper, who has a leather-bound trunk just like Rosie’s. Almost immediately,
the Goodfellows’ life changes for the better. Goes for warm character development
rather than a comedic Big Finish. Some mature themes. UK ~ 2005 ~ 1 hour
43 minutes. Admission is $6 regular, $5 senior/students, $4 members/child.
Wednesday fee $4. For more information and show times, contact 505-524-8287.
