We are delighted to welcome Oscar-winning screenwriter Ronald Harwood to discuss the making of The Dresser, his classic portrait of 1940s theatre which he adapted from his own hit play. The film, which was shot largely on location within Bradford’s Alhambra Theatre, launches a season of movies entitled Made in Bradford.
