Waltham Forest Cinema Project presents a live piano score for a silent classic, set on the streets and tube platforms of 1920s London. World-renowned accompanist John Sweeney will join us to play live along to Anthony Asquith’s Underground (1928).
An incredible time capsule of London, Underground tells the story of lovers meeting in the tube, but things get off track very quickly. Electrician Bert is taken with shop girl Nell, but she has also caught the eye of underground porter Bill. The love triangle plays out in high drama, but against a surprisingly familiar portrait of every day life in London, from pub rooms to power stations.
