Shadowlands + Q&A with Michael Attenborough
Join us at The Phoenix Cinema for a special screening of Shadowlands, directed by the legendary Richard Attenborough, followed by an exclusive Q&A with his son, Michael Attenborough CBE, D.Litt. Michael will share personal insights into his father’s creative process and behind-the-scenes stories from Richard’s remarkable filmmaking career. Michael Attenborough has been a distinguished theatre director for over 50 years. His career began as Associate Director at the Mercury Theatre Colchester, followed by roles at the Leeds Playhouse and London’s Young Vic Theatre. He went on to become Artistic Director of the Palace Theatre Watford, and later the Hampstead Theatre — renowned for its dedication to new writing. Michael then served 12 years as Principal Associate Director and Executive Producer at the Royal Shakespeare Company, where he remains an Honorary Associate Artist, before spending 11 years as Artistic Director of the acclaimed and award-winning Almeida Theatre in London. His extensive freelance work includes acclaimed productions for the National Theatre, the Royal Court, the Tricycle, the Globe and Chichester Festival Theatre, as well as international work in Dublin, Edmonton, Toronto, Brisbane, Washington, and twice on Broadway. This promises to be a fascinating afternoon celebrating both film and theatre, offering a rare glimpse into the life and legacy of one of Britain’s most celebrated filmmakers.
