Dorothy is a lonely widow whose body is failing, but her mind remains as bright as ever. When 17-year-old JJ accidentally kicks his football into her garden, he upends Dorothy’s daily routine of pills, prunes, and crosswords, and an unlikely friendship blossoms.

A Friend of Dorothy is a 2025 British short comedy drama film written and directed by Lee Knight. The film starring Miriam Margolyes as a lonely widow and Alistair Nwachukwu as a teenage neighbor, depicts an unlikely, poignant bond over shared loneliness.

Back to Productions MRS. WARREN'S PROFESSION - CINEMA ★★★★★ "Mrs. Warren's Profession has only grown more incendiary in the hundred years since its first performance" Broadway World "I am my mother’s daughter. I am like you. But my work is not your work, and my way is not your way.” Vivie Warren is a woman ahead of her time. Estranged from her wealthy mother, she delights in a glass of whisky, a good detective story, and is determined to carve herself a sparkling legal career in an age ruled by men. Her mother, however, is a product of that old patriarchal order. Exploiting it has earned Mrs. Warren a fortune and paid for her daughter’s expensive education - but at what cost? ★★★★ "Imelda Staunton is typically amazing in this startlingly fresh drama" Time Out Four-time Olivier Award winner Imelda Staunton (The Crown ) joins forces with her real-life daughter Bridgerton’s Bessie Carter for the very first time, reuniting with the extraordinary director Dominic Cooke (Hello, Dolly!, Good ) to bring George Bernard Shaw’s incendiary moral classic crashing into the 21st Century. ★★★★ "Imelda Staunton and her daughter are superbly matched" The Independent CAST IMELDA STAUNTON – Kitty Warren BESSIE CARTER – Vivie Warren KEVIN DOYLE – Rev.

- ALL MY SONS | Sonia Friedman
Back to Productions ALL MY SONS This production began performances on 20th June and closed on 25th September 2010. A classic production never to be forgotten The Daily Telegraph Set over a single day in 1947, Joe Keller ( David Suchet ) is a proud father and successful business-man who made his fortune during the Second World War. His wife Kate (Zoë Wanamaker) refuses to give up hope of their youngest son, Larry, returning home, having been reported missing in action 3 years previous. The arrival of Larry’s childhood sweetheart Ann Deever ( Jemima Rooper ) at the request of their eldest son Chris ( Stephen Campbell Moore ) threatens to expose a dark secret that will tear their lives apart. An all-star masterclass. A masterpiece The Times “There’s nothin’ he could do that I wouldn’t forgive. Because he’s my son. Because I’m his father and he’s my son... Nothin’s bigger than that.” All My Sons is Arthur Miller’s 20th-century classic play about social responsibility set against personal gain. When Joe Keller places the prosperity of his family above the lives of others the consequences are painful and calamitous.

- Sonia Friedman named in TIME's 2018 list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World | Sonia Friedman
Back to News & Press Sonia Friedman named in TIME's 2018 list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World Wednesday, 18 April 2018 TIME named Sonia Friedman to the 2018 TIME 100, its annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. The full list and related tributes appear in the April 30, 2018 issue of TIME, available on newsstands on Friday, April 20, and now at time.com/100. The list, now in its fifteenth year, recognizes the activism, innovation and achievement of the world’s most influential individuals. TIME editors have said of the list in the past, “The TIME 100 is a list of the world's most influential men and women, not its most powerful, though those are not mutually exclusive terms. While power is certain, influence is subtle. As much as this exercise chronicles the achievements of the past year, we also focus on figures whose influence is likely to grow, so we can look around the corner to see what is coming." Up Up
