And a rather marvellous one too. It is available on pay for view here and looks stunning. I have to confess I was worried that no film could come close to the experience of being locked in a real shipping container, but they have done an amazing job.

In other news, the reviews for The Container and link to an interview with me on CNN can be found here.

I have several projects on the offing for next year. As soon as they are confirmed you will read it here first!

You can read a paper to know people smuggling happens. But watch The Container and it becomes a reality, putting faces and voices alongside stories of hope and sacrifice.

When Tom directed Clare Bayley's play at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2007 it won a Fringe First and the Amnesty Freedom of Expression Award. Now it's back in a sea container parked outside the Young Vic and with each performance seating just 28 people it's expected to sell out fast!

Not suitable for those with a dislike of enclosed spaces.

THE DOORBELLS OF FLORENCE

Ring a random doorbell. Who answers?

A collection of photographs of real doorbells in Florence. Stories of failed detectives and fated love, chance encounters and a secret beneath the floorboards. Two unnamed storytellers take you on a journey through a strange and mystical Italian city not unlike our own. Step through the doorway and discover new worlds.

Wandering around Florence on holiday, Andrew Losowsky started to take pictures of doorbells. He put the images on photo site Flickr, each one accompanied with a short story detailing the life of the supposed inhabitant. This started the online writing genre 'Flicktion', and the stories went on to win the Blooker award for Fiction in 2007. The stories are now being put on stage by award-winning director Tom Wright.

Adapted from an award-winning book, The Doorbells of Florence is a performance of raw storytelling at its very best.
