Thank You

Thank you so much for coming, those of you who were there. I hope you really enjoyed it. If you didn't come - well, the general view was you missed a treat! Many thought it was the best yet for the programme, the guests and the buzz. Numbers were up generally with a full house in the theatre to hear John Hurt 'In Conversation', and Tony Britten, Tony Palmer and Alex Etel all went down a storm.

We are so excited to have John Hurt as our patron and everyone who met him or heard him talk was impressed by his integrity, graciousness and sense of fun.

Is it possible to make a film about life threatening or life changing illness without it being mawkish or intrusive into peoples' privacy? We think so.
