Set in the 1960s, the film is written and directed by Curtis.

Broadcasting from the remote location of the North Sea, the eclectic collection of rock and roll DJs includes the American "god of the airwaves", who is known only as The Count (Phillip Seymore Hoffman), Gavin (Rhys Ifans), the greatest DJ in Britain, and Dave (Nick Frost), an ironic broadcaster who has a penchant for glamorous ladies.

Together with Quentin (Bill Nighy), the hip and happening station owner, these revolutionary music-lovers play the music that defined a generation and stood up to a government that preferred jazz.

With an exceptional British supporting cast, including Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson, plus a soundtrack that will get your feet tapping and your blood pumping, this film is a must for lovers of rock 'n' roll.

The Boat That Rocked (15) is screening at Worthing's Connaught 2-Screen Cinema from Friday, April 3, until Thursday, April 16.

Tickets 5 before 6pm, 6.50 and 6 (concessions) after 6pm. Book via www.worthingtheatres.co.uk or call the box office on 01903 206206.
