The outgoing Artistic Director at The Wallis, Paul Crewes said the show is very relevant and poignant this year, especially for him. “Collaborating with our friends from For the Record, to create LOVE ACTUALLY LIVE, is as always, a joyful experience. We tell our story through a combination of film exquisitely weaved with the score, created and performed by the amazing talents of our actors, musicians, production and creative teams. To finish my tenure at The Wallis with this record-breaking production feels perfect.”
