Typist Artist Pirate King

Synopsis

We are thrilled to welcome director Carol Morley, lead actor Monica Dolan, and producer Cairo Cannon to Cambridge for our 42^nd Opening Night! 

Typist Artist Pirate King is a touching tribute to Sunderland-born artist Audrey Amiss. 

Carol Morley takes us on a heart-warming road trip that captures the memories, locations and nostalgia that influenced Audrey’s art and writing. The film first finds Audrey (Monica Dolan) going through the archives of her life’s work, feeling driven to return home to put on a final exhibition. Her psychiatric nurse Sandra (Kelly Macdonald) gets roped into the trip, and they encounter strangers and new friends on the road.
