Dennis Potter in Place: The Beast with Two Backs....Is Back!

Lydbrook, Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire
In 1968 a Forest of Dean village became home to a made for television film as actors, directors, cameras, costumes - and a bear! spent a week there making Potter's Wednesday Play, A Beast with Two Backs. Using local school children and adults as extras, and the local pub as hair & make-up head quarters, on-location filming took place in the village and surrounding area. Now, nearly 50 years on the play is returning for a day of recollection, talks, exhibition, and the first ever theatrical screening of the play itself. Join the research team for this free event from 10.30am, at Lydbrook Memorial Hall, Lydbrook, Gloucestershire, GL179PP.
This is an event put together by the partnership of University of Gloucestershire and University of Warwick, with the support of the British Film Institute, Forest of Dean Local History Society, and Dean Heritage Museum.
