The Man with the Plan starring Somon Callow - 21 Jan. 2027

Thursday 21st January 7.00 – 9pm

The Man with the Plan, starring Simon Callow as William Beveridge

 

A young student, Flea (Sophie Jenkin), discovers the 1942 Beveridge report – and its comprehensive vision for a better society.

Flea’s fantastical journey takes her amongst Beveridge’s Five Giants: Want, Disease, Squalor, Idleness & Ignorance and the whirl of politicians, ineffective policies and missed opportunities across the decades until now. 

Based on texts and speeches by Beveridge and politicians, the film is a moving account of Beveridge’s vision, the desperate need for it today and a passionate call for action.

Starring Simon Callow as William Beveridge, Sophie Jenkin, Mark Thomas, Alan Cox, Neil Gore, Neil D’Souza, Andrew Tiernan, Hal Cruttenden, Michael Mears, many others and the voice of Miriam Margolyes.

The Film (105 mins) will be followed by a Q&A with the Writer/ Director Christine Edzard
