Itâs the first conversation of
Borris Festival of Writing & Ideasâ online spring season, produced by Hugo Jellett and Vivienne Guinness, and on screens we eavesdrop on reminiscences and thoughts of two friends of over 30 years, both acclaimed actors and directors, who are also writers.
Callow is 70, Everett a decade younger, and their chat is thoughtful, gossipy, sophisticated, revealing. Itâs a sort of Look Back in Mellow Anger at working in British theatre and onscreen, life as gay men, and how changed are the worlds they knew and bounded through, floating on talent and pleasure, with doors opening to them and life ever thrilling.
