To complement the release of Stan & Ollie, the Slapstick Festival revisits this 2006 TV drama from writer Neil Brand. Based on Brand’s acclaimed radio play of the same name, the film follows Stan Laurel’s last visit to his dying friend and comedy partner Oliver ‘Babe’ Hardy and Stan’s subsequent coming to terms with the ghosts of his past.
The film will be introduced by critic and film historian David Robinson, who will reveal all about his time with Stan & Ollie, having met and interviewed them during their appearance onstage at Bristol Hippodrome in the 1950s.
