The Stagestruck Final is here!

For the past few months, eight amateur theatre groups from across the UK and Ireland have been competing in a major competition launched by Sky Arts to find the best amateur theatre groups in the country and one group, above all, worthy of the ultimate prize: the chance to open a play in London’s West End. We have seen them perform classic Ibsen and Chekhov in the quarter-finals and dramatic scenes from Shakespeare’s King Lear in the semi-finals.

Don't miss the definitive account of the 'wiki-saga', featuring the first major television interview with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.

The film unites all the major protagonists for the first time, including Assange's erstwhile partner Daniel Domscheit Berg, and the editorial teams at the Guardian, Der Spiegel and New York Times newspapers, as well as the US state department spokesperson who had to deal with the leaks.
