Award-winning theatre and film director, producer and writer Alan Lyddiard is involved in a Leeds 2023 project that he says “resonates across the world”.

The 73-year-old has worked across the UK, Europe and beyond. He set up The Performance Ensemble in 2015 to create high quality contemporary performances with people over 60, drawing on their life experiences, hopes and fears, for audiences of all ages.

Now the group are working on a new project for Leeds 2023 and they want anyone over 60 to get involved. Here, he tells us more about it:
