Film and Stage Adaptations

Below are a few clips of the film version of "A Matter of Life and Death".

It's interesting to see the similarities and differences between our production and the film!  The film has the advantage of showing heaven in black and white, and then earth in Technicolor.  Even the Conductor comments on it, "Wow, life is so much better in Technicolor!"

I'm happy to see that the RAF uniform for Peter (played by Andrew) is very similar to the one we've purchased online.  June (played by Meg) is American in the film, which I thought was a bit coincidental since we've actually changed Bob (played by Bob) to be Canadian (due to his natural American accent).

Instead of having the Girl (played by Anastasia) playing on the beach, as in our play and the Kneehigh production, the film has a nude boy with sheep and a dog! The Girl is a lot more practical, especially since she isn't herding sheep and is wearing a nice blue dress and straw hat.











The National Theatre Kneehigh production is, like ours, a lot more stylised.  Even this promo for it is sort of surreal and strange.
Again, many of the costumes I have already sourced and made are similar to the ones in the promo, which I'm quite happy about!
