Christine Edzard’s new film The Man With The Plan will tour nationwide from 20 September, bringing a surreal political take on the legacy of economist William Beveridge to venues across the UK. The feature stars Four Weddings and a Funeral actor Simon Callow, 77, as Beveridge - the Liberal politician credited with shaping the modern British welfare state.
Edzard’s film lands at a moment when Britain is once again crying out for answers, and she’s not shy about asking the big question: if Beveridge could imagine a fairer society in 1942, why does the country feel more broken than ever?
