Without your constructive and incisive feedback, this thesis would be little more than a nebulous idea trapped in the back of my mind. Your guidance and wisdom have been nothing short of invaluable throughout this entire process. From Street Angel to Suspiria, I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher and mentor throughout my film education. Thank you to my family: Mom, Dad, Austin, Grandma, Grandpa, Jason, John, and Pete. Thank you for your unending support throughout the most trying times, and everything else too. Thank you to the entire faculty of the College of Film and the Moving Image, for enriching my understanding of film and giving me the necessary tools to think critically about film. Thank you to Julia Randall, Meredith Hughes, Terttu Uibopuu, Tushar Irani, Bill Dawson, and Andrew Szegedy-Maszak, the professors and teachers who shaped the way I think about the world, taught me how to approach problems, and expanded my own universe. Thank you to Allison, for always keeping my head on my shoulders and being an extraordinary friend through everything. Thank you to all of my dear friends from Wesleyan and Westhampton: Charlie, Joey, Sam, Ben K., Austin, Karina, Arianna, Willa, Ben V., Ari G., Max, Gabe, Pate, Abby, Will F., Seamus, Liz M., Ruby, Alex, Tate, Keith, Will D., Eric, Taylor, Sadie, Emma, Liza, Liv, Nate, Matthew, Alvaro, Cameron, Noah, Thor, Ames, Carly, Eli, Marc, Greg, Jake, Peter-John, Francesco, Liz M., Toni, Jesse, Connor, Aiden, Tahsin, Beecher, Luke, Patricolo, Roger, Lauren, and last but certainly not least, John-Henry.

The production, directed by Christopher Luscombe, will run in the Main House from 7 to 24 August with opening night for press on 12 August. The Argument delves into what it is to dispute with those we love and offers a biting take on human dynamics. This is an often hilarious, darkly comic and compelling exploration of how it is the tone in which words are said which has such potency. Pip and Meredith are having a disagreement about a film they’ve just seen when Pip’s phone rings and a full-scale row about their marriage breaks out. In the course of ten arguments, we follow the repercussions, as Meredith’s parents, Chloe and Frank, her best-friend Jane, and Pip’s best-friend Tony, take sides and end up embroiled in arguments of their own. Vitriolic, razor-sharp and veracious, the arguments rake over past prejudices, expose unjust judgements and reveal difficult truths.

  • EVELYN WAUGH - an A–Z by WILLIAM BOYD
    EVELYN WAUGH - an A–Z By WILLIAM BOYD My first introduction to Evelyn Waugh was shortly after his death in 1966. I had just turned 14 and was at a boarding school in Scotland. Some enterprising 6th former got up a petition that he was planning to send to the headmaster. The petition demanded that a half-holiday be granted to commemorate the passing of the “great English novelist Evelyn Waugh.” I remember eagerly signing my name though I had no idea who this Evelyn Waugh was – but I was very keen on a half-holiday. I think over a hundred signatures were gathered and it was duly presented to the headmaster. It was rejected forthwith. However, it stimulated my interest in Waugh and thus was born a near life-long obsession with the work and the man. I am pretty sure I have read almost everything that Waugh wrote that was published. I’ve written about him a great deal. He appears briefly as a character in my novel Any Human Heart and I have adapted four of his novels for television – Scoop and the Sword of Honour trilogy (of which more later). Consequently, when I was asked if I would give this lecture I was in something of a quandary; what on earth could I talk about? I could talk about almost anything to do with Evelyn Waugh. By serendipitous chance an OL came to my rescue. I happen to know the playwright David Hare and I told him I was going to give the Evelyn Waugh lecture at Lancing but I had no idea what to talk about.
