News: Musical film Cells to be released episodically starring Clive Rowe and Lem Knights

Partnering with Royal & Derngate Northampton, Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch and the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough, the first episode is set to be launched on Monday 19 April, with subsequent episodes released daily, and the full film to be made available on Monday 26 April.
