Don’t miss the fifth instalment of Desert Island Flicks at the Tyneside, as Golden Globe and BAFTA winning actress – and Vera herself – Brenda Blethyn (Secrets and Lies) sits down with local hero, comedian and actor Dave Johns (I, Daniel Blake) to reveal the movies she simply couldn’t live without. Expect personal stories, behind-the-scenes secrets and Brenda Blethyn’s hand-picked clips from her all-time favourite films.
More than just a conversation, Desert Island Flicks invites you to experience the films that inspire the stars, on the big screen, and hear why these cinematic moments hold a special place in their hearts.
This event directly raises funds to support The Tyneside Talent Unit, which supports young people from working-class backgrounds in breaking into the film and television industries.
