Images have been released for the National Theatre’s original film Death of England: Face to Face, which was recorded on the NT’s Lyttelton stage for broadcast on Sky Arts on 25 November.

Following on from their acclaimed stage productions Death of England and Death of England: Delroy, Deputy Artistic Director Clint Dyer and Roy Williams have written this standalone new feature film Death of England: Face to Face, which is also directed by Dyer.

In this new film, Michael and Delroy, the two characters from the original NT productions, come face to face following the birth of Delroy’s child and Michael’s niece. Following an explosive afternoon at Michael's East London flat, they are forced to confront their relationship with their country – and with each other.

The cast includes Neil Maskell (Peaky Blinders) as Michael, Giles Terera (Hamilton) as Delroy, Phil Daniels (Adult Material) as Michael’s father Alan, Amy Newton as Carly and Maggie Saunders as Maggie.

Death of England: Face to Face will also be previewed in Curzon cinemas across the UK on 2 November.

There will also be a special screening at Curzon Bloomsbury on Tuesday 26 October, with a live a Q&A featuring writer and director Clint Dyer, and writer Roy Williams.

The film will then be released, for free, on Sky Arts at 9pm on 25 November.
