THE DON
Genre: DRAMA
WRITERS: Jeff Young and Pete Wylie of Liverpool
DIRECTOR: TBC
PRODUCER: TBC
Cervantes 'Don Quixote' hurtles into the future, crash landing in Liverpool. Out steps The Don, an old rocker, a man out of time and place.
WRITER JEFF YOUNG is a truly original voice, a Liverpool writer who has carved out a reputation for outstanding theatre and radio writing. He is currently writing for Eastenders after graduating from the BBC Writers’ Academy in 2006. “I’ve worked extensively with musicians, choreographers and visual artists and have done several ‘sound art’ projects in Liverpool and London,” says Jeff. “Our hunger to tell this story on film is a real departure for us, but absolutely what we want to be doing at this time,” he adds.
“By taking a classic, shoving it into the 21st century with song from one of Liverpool’s rock legends, we aim to ensure the emotional spine of the piece will touch and resonate a modern audience,” says Jeff.
CO-WRITER PETE WYLIE is a Liverpool rock legend, a composer, commentator and songwriter. In recent years he’s written and performed soundtrack scores for two films (I’m a Juvenile Delinquent – Jail Me, Under The Mud) and will soon be performing alongside The Who.
“I think what makes this project unique is our shared passion to use our talents in a new way, embarking on a new stage in our creative development,” says Pete.
