SEASON CONCLUDED

From the best-selling novel by Mitch Albom comes a tender, uplifting comedy about a life-altering friendship.

Mitch Albom’s favourite teacher was his college professor Morrie Schwartz but nearly twenty years have passed since he last saw him. When Mitch catches Morrie on a television interview talking about having Lou Gehrig’s Disease (Motor Neurone Disease) he decides to visit his old professor one last time. One visit quickly becomes another and another until ultimately Mitch realizes that he is taking one final lesson...in how to live.

Approximate running time 90 minutes
