**PREVIEW**

Directed by Anthony Byrne, whose fans include cinematic luminaries like Vanessa Redgrave and John Hurt, How About You is the adaptation of Maeve Binchy's short story. Ellie (Atwell) returns home for Christmas to enjoy the seasonal cheer but is dismayed when she's left in charge of the residential home run by her sister. The majority of inmates might be with their families for the holidays, but four of the crankiest are left behind to put poor Ellie through the mill. Byrne's previous outing Short Order was a stylish homage to the Hollywood musicals of yesteryear and we hope he can bring his visual flair to Binchy, who hasn't had the best of luck when it comes to adaptations. Joss Ackland and Joan O'Hara co-star.
