Tonight (10) will see an emotional and thought-provoking film aired to the public for the first time.

Dorchester-based actor and writer Sue Wylie will see her play Kinetics, now a film, premiered in Dorchester at the Plaza Cinema.

Sue wrote the play in reaction to her to her diagnosis with early-onset Parkinson’s.

As a stage play it has toured the South West and London, selling more than 1500 tickets and receiving phenomenal feedback from audiences and medical professionals alike, for its bravery, honesty, humour and passion.

This film version will not only take the play to a wider audience but is also being used as a training and information resource for Parkinson’s nurses, carers, doctors and medical students.

Kinetics is based on her own experience and follows the relationship between a middle-aged woman and a bright but bored student who is struggling with ADHD and finds release in free running.

As reported, a fundraising campaign was launched earlier this year and thanks to the generosity of the public, more than £30,000 was raised.

With the money confirmed, the play was transformed into a film in just five days.

Sue said the original plan was to have one screening, but due to the popularity of the play two screenings have been arranged.

Sue, who has stared in a number of television series, such as The Bill and Casualty, is hoping to see the town come together to support her work. The Plaza Cinema have generously donated the use of their screen free of charge.

Tickets for the premiere at the Plaza Cinema in Dorchester tonight at 6pm have sold out but there will be a further screening at the Plaza Cinema on Friday. Contact Dorchester Arts to book on 01305 266926.
