Alan Yentob explores the huge ongoing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the UK's pioneering and world-renowned performing arts industry.
Drawing on footage captured throughout 2020, he looks at the huge challenges in both the short and long term, and the creative ways in which people are keeping the industry alive until it can re-emerge more fully. From the world’s first drive-in opera and innovative live-streamed theatre performances on our most iconic stages, to urgent new work inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement and debut performances of world premiere dance pieces, there is much to admire in spite of the enormous challenges involved in staging any kind of performance at all in the current climate.

Filmed during lockdown, Alan Yentob invites us into the intriguing world of award-winning novelist Kazuo Ishiguro. The only living British author to hold the Nobel Prize in Literature, Ishiguro’s novels and short stories have been translated into more than fifty languages. Two of his most popular novels, The Remains of the Day and Never Let Me Go, have also enjoyed success as star-studded film adaptations.
In this revealing profile, Ishiguro explores the significance of his early life in Nagasaki and the experience of growing up in the aftermath of the atomic bomb. He shares memories of feeling like the only Japanese boy in the home counties of England in the early 1960s, and how this helped to shape his viewpoint as a writer. As a young man, he harboured ambitions to be a singer-songwriter, and he shares his lifelong emotional connection to music and lyrics, and the impact that particular songs have had on his writing.
