Bleak Week just got bleaker! On Wednesday 18th June, writer and director Paddy Considine s us LIVE ON STAGE with his 2011 directorial debut, TYRANNOSAUR, featuring an Intro and Post-Film Q&A!

In 2007, actor Paddy Considine decided to move behind the camera when he wrote and directed his first short film Dog Altogether. Partially based on Considine’s late father, the short film starred Peter Mullan and Olivia Colman. Dog Altogether won the 2007 BAFTA award for Best Short Film, as well as a Silver Lion for Best Short Film at the 2007 Venice Film Festival.

Following the success, Considine would expand the story for his directorial feature debut, TYRANNOSAUR. Set against a bleak urban backdrop in an unspecified town in the North of England, TYRANNOSAUR explores themes of redemption, domestic abuse, trauma, and human connection. The story centres on Joseph, a violent and troubled man consumed by rage and grief, who unexpectedly forms a complex relationship with Hannah, a kind and devout Christian woman hiding her own dark secrets.

With raw performances from lead actors Peter Mullan and Olivia Colman, who reprised their roles from the short film, Tyrannosaur is an unapologetically dark and challenging film, that is bolstered by incredible directing and cinematography. Mark Kermode would hail the film as one of the best of 2011, and awarded Olivia Colman Best Actress in his own Annual Kermode Awards. Considine would also pick up a BAFTA for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer.
