New Film! Hang-Up reading becomes a movie

In May, Felicity and Harry Treadway did a reading of Anthony Minghella's play, Hang-up in London. (I posted about it here.)

That reading has now turned into a short film, directed by Treadway and starring himself and Felicity.

From Baz Bamigboyle's column at The Daily Mail (scroll down to near the end of the page):

The young actor has just directed himself and Felicity Jones in a short movie based on Anthony Minghella's 1980s radio play Hang Up.

'It's about two lovers talking on the phone in the days before mobile phones,' Harry explained as he scoped out the party with his friend Polly Stenham, the playwright best known for her work Upstairs at the Royal Court.

Harry performed in Hang Up at the High Tide Festival this year, opposite Felicity, and was then given the opportunity to direct it on film. (Hang Up was originally performed on BBC radio with Juliet Stevenson and Anton Lesser.)
