Michael Mears, an award-winning performer of his own solo plays for theatre and radio, has produced This Evil Thing about conscientious objectors in World War I as a lockdown movie in six parts of around 15 mins each.
An actor and playwright, Michael has a rich career in theatre, television and film – from classical Shakespearean roles to Paddington 2 and the hotel barman who brings Hugh Grant and Andie McDowell together in Four Weddings And A Funeral.
Michael also appeared in Christine Edzard’s adaptation of The Good Soldier Schweik familiar to London filmgoers via the Sands Film Studios. Their film club screenings are cancelled during lockdown, but a new presentation is streamed live every Tuesday night at 8pm via the website or FB page.
