1 THERE’S ACREATIVE
DREAM TEAM
Three-part drama The Way unites idiosyncratic documentarian Adam Curtis (The Power of Nightmares), prolific playwright/screenwriter James Graham (Sherwood) and actor Michael Sheen, here making his directorial debut. ‘The idea came before the pandemic and was very simple,’ says Sheen. ‘What if a British family were doing what a Syrian family were doing at the time, suddenly having to leave their home and go on this dangerous journey? Adam is very good about layers of power and would challenge us to keep things believable at all times. Once we started talking about the scope, we needed a writer and James seemed the perfect fit.’
