Coronet Inside Out: Max Key
PRESERVATION
We are delighted to present a short film from director Max Key, whose production of The Glass Piano appeared on our stage in 2019.
Max Key has made the transition from theatre to film with his short film Preservation, which was presented at Palm Springs International ShortFest Film Festival and for the jury selection panel at BAFTA for Best Short Film.
Preservation, starring Saskia Reeves, is originally a scene from the play Cet Enfant (This Child) by French playwright Joël Pommerat.
Thanks to Joël Pommerat and Anne de Amézaga/Compagnie Louis Brouillard.
