Quadrophenia star Mark Wingett to take Q & A session at Pompey screening of movie classic
TV and film actor Mark Wingett will make a guest appearance at a screening of 70s cult hit movie Quadrophenia on August 7th at Staggeringly Good Brewery.
Mark, who played Dave in the classic tale of mods v rockers, will be chatting with the audience in a 20 minute pre-screening Q and A session. Mark says: "It's great to be back in Pompey again. I grew up in Horndean and my dad was in the navy, so I was always in the city as a kid. These days, I still think of Pompey as home."
Mark, who filmed Quadrophenia when he was seventeen years old, went on to star in classic movie Breaking Glass with Hazel O'Connor, before landing the role of PC (and later DC) Jim Carver in the long-running tv cop show The Bill.
"Quadrophenia has a special place in my heart," he says. "And not just mine! It's great to see how many people it still inspires!"
Mark will be hosted by his brother, local writer Matt Wingett, who starred alongside Mark in last year's Holmes Fest. "It's great to be back on stage with Mark," says Matt. "I'll be taking questions from the audience for my bro, it'll be a great night!"
Quadrophenia is showing at Staggeringly Good Brewery as part of Southsea Cinema's ongoing series of outdoor screenings on August 7th, starting at 9pm. Adult tickets are £10, with discounts for multi-buys. Book here:
