Director: Kenneth Branagh
Stars: Kenneth Branagh, Judi Dench, Ian McKellen
By 1613, William Shakespeare was acknowledged as England’s foremost dramatist, yet the fiery destruction of his Globe Theatre and death of his son Hamnet led him to retreat to Stratford on Avon. Attempting to rebuild his relationship with his daughters and wife, his failings as a husband and father were laid bare… “Fiercely intelligent and poignant” (The Times), All Is True blends comedy and drama in Ben Elton’s script that fills in one of the greatest gaps in the life of the great playwright.
The programme will include our current BRIT School Showcase film Peace And Quiet (U) directed by George Hadley.

‘Human beings,’ reflects Sir Ian McKellen, ‘are acting all day long. It’s not yourself you offer to the world, but part of yourself.’ This insight is characteristic of a film that continually focuses on the man behind the famous actor who, at the age of 78, has thought deeply but bracingly unpretentiously about his life, career and LGBT activism. A combination of interview, archive film and dramatized childhood scenes, Playing The Part is ‘an engaging portrait… I can’t think of anyone I’d rather spend 90 minutes listening to’ (The Guardian).
