Featuring a powerhouse cast led by Jennifer Saunders and newcomer Bally Gill, supported by Judi Dench, Derek Jacobi, David Bradley, Russell Tovey and Julia McKenzie, ALLELUJAH is a warm, humorous, and deeply moving story about surviving old age.
When the geriatric ward in a small Yorkshire hospital is threatened with closure, the hospital decides to fight back. ALLELUJAH celebrates the spirit of the elderly patients whilst paying tribute to the deep humanity of the medical staff battling with limited resources and ever-growing demand. Directed by Richard Eyre (‘Notes on Scandal,’ ‘Iris’) from a screenplay by Heidi Thomas (‘Call the Midwife,’ ‘Cranford’) based on the stage play by Alan Bennett (‘The Madness of King George,’ ‘The Lady in The Van’).
