Christopher Eccleston says Ken Loach's film changed his view on 'art for working class people'.
Christopher Eccleston has said Ken Loach's Kes changed his view of "art and culture for working class people" and inspired him to take up acting to smash Oxbridge's "ivory towers"., the book that inspired the 1969 film, for BBC Four.
The film tells the story of Billy Casper, a working class boy who finds hope and fulfilment when he adopts a young kestrel and begins training it. The theatre, which was forced to shut after losing all of its funding from Arts Council England, was a training ground for a host of stars including Bernard Cribbins, Jean Alexander, Barbara Knox and William Roache., performing excerpts from an adaptation of Loach's film I, Daniel Blake alongside Maxine Peake.
