To celebrate the HD restoration of the iconic TV series One Summer, a special virtual reunion of cast members David Morrissey and Spencer Leigh will be streamed live via our Twitter and Facebook pages
This 1983 hard-hitting series from award-winning dramatist Willy Russell saw David Morrissey and Spencer Leigh play two directionless teenagers, Billy and Icky, who pin their hopes on a trip to their school's summer camp. When fate and bad luck scupper their plans, a small bingo win soon sees them boarding a train and heading for unknown territory. From the tumultuous streets of early ‘80s Liverpool to the sun dappled countryside of North Wales, the boys discover a new appreciation for the world and people around them and an opportunity to change their futures. Co-starring Ian Hart and James Hazeldine the series was a big hit, gripping audiences to the very end.
Access to the evening’s stream is free for all and audiences will not require a ticket to watch the Q&A.
Hosted by writer, broadcaster and cultural historian Matthew Sweet, audience members can submit questions to David and Spencer on social media using the hashtag #OneSummer, tagging in @networktweets and @LivEveryPlay, before and during the live stream on the night.
As part of the live stream, organisers Network Distributing have kindly agreed to raise funds for the theatres and Young Everyman Playhouse.
