ALLELUJAH is a warm and witty story about old age adapted by screenwriter Heidi Thomas (Call the Midwife) from Alan Bennett’s much-admired 2018 stage play and helmed by award-winning director Richard Eyre (Iris). The ensemble comedy features a ‘ward-full of British talent’ including Jennifer Saunders, Bally Gill, Russell Tovey, David Bradley, Derek Jacobi, and Judi Dench. When the geriatric ward in a small Yorkshire hospital is threatened with closure, the hospital decides to fight back by galvanizing the local community: they invite a news crew to film their preparations for a concert in honour of the hospital’s most distinguished nurse. What could go wrong? ALLELUJAH celebrates the spirit of the elderly patients whilst paying tribute to the deep humanity of the medical staff battling with limited resources and ever-growing demand.
