New short film released made by community affected by Wigan drama school closure

Last Monday (4 April), the Academy of Live and Recorded Arts (ALRA) announced its sudden closure, which left students, staff and alumni reeling. Citing that it was no longer "financially viable".

And now an ex-teacher at ALRA, Lewis Fernandez, has released his short film, Glass Houses , which features actors from the drama school.
