Product Information
Michael Sheen (THE QUEEN, FROST/NIXON) puts in a mesmerising, award-winning performance as tortured comedy legend Kenneth Williams in this televised drama. Martyn Hesford's (MISS MARIE LLOYD) screenplay was garnered from William's own intimate diaries and other close sources, creating a sometimes hilarious, sometimes heart-breaking portrait of a complicated yet much-loved performer. In fact therein lies much of the film's tragedy, Sheen's Williams can charm and entertain with a host of comic characters, yet he is never comfortable with himself, his sexuality and his desperate need for companionship.Product Identifiers

ReviewsThe Guardian - Michael Sheen transcending even his own recent high standards (THE DEAL, DIRTY FILTHY LOVE ...), bring[s] Kenneth Williams back to painfully vivid life in a characterisation for which the description tour-de-force is, frankly, pretty faint praise.
