M: Good morning. Our guest today is Karen Brook. Karen is the managing director of Cube Movie Theater, located on Underhill Road. Thank you for coming, Karen.

W: Thank you for having me.

M: So, tell us about your cinema—Cube Movie Theater.

W: Sure. Cube Movie Theater has been around now for 11 years. It’s located in what used to be a hat factory.

M: Oh, really?

W: Yeah. [There used to be many hat factories in Britain until around the 1950s, but fashion changed and most people stopped wearing hats. So practically all of those factories had to close down. This one, in particular, was closed for 47 years before we transformed it into a movie theater.

M: I see. I hear there’s something else that makes your theater special. What is it that sets you apart from other theaters?

W: We are the only movie theater in the whole country that only shows foreign movies.

M: Is there enough demand for that? I would have thought that in London, most people don’t speak foreign languages.

W: Sure, there’s enough demand. The fact that we have been open and in business for all these years proves it. London is a very large and international city. There are lots of people interested in watching such movies. Furthermore, I might add, all movies come with English text at the bottom of the screen. So even if you don’t understand what the actors say, you can still read it.

M: Of course. What movie are you showing right now?

W: This week we’re showing a musical from Pakistan. It’s very popular.
