All you need is LOVE

PERFORMANCE LIVE: LOVE | BBC2 10PM

Love is… the all-encompassing theme for the National Theatre’s artist in residence Alexander Zeldin’s play, and now his first feature film. Actress Lesley Manville introduces us to the piece, a tale of unrelated families brought together after being placed in temporary accommodation in the run-up to Christmas. It’s inspired by Zeldin’s time spent with people across the UK who suddenly found themselves homeless. Be warned – albeit a festive tale, it’s not exactly Elf. It’s dark, bleak and upsetting in parts, but ultimately a moving story of human resilience and, well, love. Bring tissues.
