A world-renowned but reclusive novelist, convinced he is about to die, summons his estranged sons to his home. But instead of seeking forgiveness for their shattered family, he reveals an unbelievable secret that could rewrite their past.

This star-studded, darkly comedic drama is led by spellbinding performances from Academy Award nominees Bill Nighy (Living, About Time) and Imelda Staunton (The Crown, Vera Drake), BAFTA nominee George MacKay (1917, Rose of Nevada), BAFTA winner Dominic West (The Wire, Downton Abbey), Johnny Flynn (Operation Mincemeat, Ripley), and rising star Noah Jupe (Hamnet, A Quiet Place).

In 1976, a young 19-year-old Anthony Bourdain (known then as ‘Tony’) aspires to become a professional writer but fails to get into his college’s writing fellowship. With no desire to remain at home for the summer, he travels to Provincetown, Massachusetts to chase his unrequited high school crush Nancy. When things go sideways, he accepts a job at a Cape Cod restaurant, learning under the tutelage of Ciro, a Brazilian-born chef and restaurateur.

Featuring standout performances from an all-star cast, including BAFTA nominee Dominic Sessa (The Holdovers) as Bourdain, Academy Award nominee Emilia Jones (Coda), Academy Award nominee Antonio Banderas (Pain and Glory) and Leo Woodall (One Day), TONY unapologetically conveys the complicated origins of Bourdain, laying the foundations of his culinary career while showcasing his famous wit and humour.

With her Oscar-winning turn in Klute, Jane Fonda reinvented herself as a new kind of movie star. Bringing nervy audacity and counterculture style to the role of Bree Daniels—a call girl and aspiring actor who becomes the focal point of a missing-person investigation when detective John Klute (Donald Sutherland) turns up at her door—Fonda made the film her own, putting an independent woman and escort on-screen with a frankness that had not yet been attempted in Hollywood.

Suffused with paranoia by the conspiracy-thriller specialist Alan J. Pakula, and lensed by master cinematographer Gordon Willis, Klute is a character study thick with dread, capturing the mood of early-1970s New York and the predicament of a woman trying to find her own way on the fringes of society.

Once Upon a Time in Suffolk is an anthology of nine new stories based on and inspired by classic fairy tales and Suffolk legends, produced by the cream of the region’s creative talents. From Red Riding Hood in Lowestoft to Rapunzel in Dedham Vale, these magical yarns are sometimes funny, sometimes dark, always heartfelt.  

“Stories are the beating heart of Suffolk. They live in the echo of footsteps through old churches, in the salt wind that rattles the windows of seaside cottages. Tales of kindness and folly, of love and loss, of courage and consequence. 

Stories bind us, across time, over land and sea. They make us belong, to each other, and to the places we carry in memory. Listen closely and they’ll give you pause for thought… you might even find yourself seeing things differently. 

Now then… shall we begin?”
