Event description

Join us at Arts Centre Washington this October for a screening of Simon Chamber’s achingly bittersweet study of what it means to live and die – Much Ado About Dying.

Simon is shooting a film in India when his Uncle David calls him with a message of doom: “Come back to London, I think I may be dying.” He returns to find David – a Shakespeare-loving drama queen – has no intention of dying.

When David’s life begins to echo that of his beloved King Lear – an old man going mad and giving his kingdom away – Simon is faced with finding a good ending to the drama that his uncle’s life has become. Much Ado About Dying is a moving ode to an independent spirit who lived life to the fullest up until the last minute.

Sunderland Film Club is supported by Film Hub North, with National Lottery funding on behalf of the BFI Film Audience Network, and Cinema for All’s Glow Scheme. The programme is funded by the BFI, awarding funds from the National Lottery.
