CARE. A SHORT FILM By Joseph Millson.

A short film that follows Michael as he struggles with a bitter divorce and his new status as an at-home carer for the elderly. Can Michael tune in to the wisdom and humour of Alan, the extraordinary man in his care, before anger and bitterness consume him.

CAST will include MICHAEL MALONEY (Belfast, The Crown, Young Victoria, Truly Madly Deeply, etc) and MICHAEL BEGLEY (Dr Who, The A word, Two Weeks to Live, Call the Midwife, etc.)

As Joseph Millson's book was released last week, a few promotional interviews have appeared online. You can read one here with Newbury Today, and two video interviews are embedded below. 

So what made this a good time to write the book?

“I’ve been writing it on and off for a few years and lockdown was a great chance to put the hundreds of hours in to get it finished edited and sold.

“It’s been a joy, the cheapest, funniest therapy I’ve ever known. “It’s not just for actors, it’s for anyone who might wonder what the reality of a real actor’s life is like, not the champagne and air kisses, but the graft.

Joseph Millson was interviewed a few evenings ago by Michelle Jordan on BBC Radio Berkshire chatting about Work And Other Four Letter Words, which is released on 4th February. The interview is available to listen again on BBC Radio Berkshire for another few weeks - begins from 2:45 mark. 

For those interested in joining the online party celebrate the release of Joseph's book, details are available on the image above.

— To Be Or Not To Be: Lockdown Shakespeare (@ToBeOrNotcast) September 17, 2020

Joseph Millson was one of the actors interviewed for a Lockdown Shakespeare podcast, discussing the To be Or Not To Be scene in Hamlet. The podcast is available on the usual podcast sources. 

"To Be Or Not To Be" – it’s the most famous speech in all of English drama, but what on earth is Hamlet actually talking about? In this weekly podcast, we talk to some of the world's leading Shakespearean actors, directors and scholars - and our conversations often end up in the most unexpected of places. This series, made by Emmy Award winning documentary producer Andrew Smith, features contributions from Adrian Lester, Harriet Walter, Sir Mark Rylance, Samuel West and many more. It was recorded during lockdown to raise awareness for theatres and for actors in a time of pandemic and theatre closures.
