Dementia Friendly Film Screening: It Happened One Night - Market Place Theatre Armagh

What to Expect

The Market Place Theatre’s monthly dementia-friendly screening in August 2026 features It Happened One Night (1934), the classic Frank Capra screwball comedy starring Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert. The film won all five major Academy Awards in 1935 and remains one of the most celebrated Hollywood comedies of the 1930s. Running time is approximately 105 minutes.

The screenings are carefully set up to be comfortable for people living with dementia and their carers - the environment is relaxed, with raised house lights, gentle sound levels, and no pressure to stay seated throughout. Tea, coffee and biscuits are included in the ticket price.
