The Picture of Dorian Grey (16th to 31st March)

About this online co-production, Belgrade Theatre in Coventry says:

In a profile pic-obsessed, filter-fixated world where online and reality blur, influencer Dorian Gray makes a deal. For his social star never to fade. For the perfect self he broadcasts to the world to always remain. But as his mental health starts to decline, as corruption and murderous depravity start to creep into his world, the true and horrific cost of his deal will soon need to be met.

The all-star cast includes Fionn Whitehead, Alfred Enoch, Emma McDonald, Russell Tovey, Joanna Lumley and Stephen Fry as The Interviewer.

Line of Duty (21st March)

This massive tv series which isn’t at all set in Birmingham and just happens to be in a big city in the Midlands which is west of Coventry and south east of Wolverhampton, returns to our screens as AC-12 gets investigating less than perfect coppers.

I watched seasons 1-5 during the first lockdown and reviewed it (pretty much spoiler free) here: brumhour.co.uk/box-set-review-line-of-duty-bbc
