Bring a Baby: The Testament of Ann Lee

Duration: 2h17m

Dates: Thu 5 Mar 2026 10:30

From award-winning writer-director Mona Fastvold (The Brutalist) comes the extraordinary story of Ann Lee, founder of the devotional sect known as the Shakers. Amanda Seyfried stars as the Shaker's irrepressible leader who, having been born into poverty in Manchester, went on to preach gender and social equality and was revered by her followers.

The Testament of Ann Lee captures the ecstasy and agony of her quest to build a utopia, featuring traditional Shaker hymns reimagined as rapturous musical numbers with choreography by Celia Rowlson-Hall (Vox Lux), alongside original songs and a score by Oscar-winning composer Daniel Blumberg (The Brutalist).
