Watch Christopher Eccleston’s powerful and heart wrenching performance of this “haunting portrait of British working-class youth”.
Set in an unspecified mining area in Northern England, the novel follows Billy Casper, a young working-class boy troubled at home and at school, who finds and trains a kestrel whom he names ‘Kes’. This is part of The Read, a series of outstanding performance readings of iconic British novels, produced by Herefordshire’s own Rural Studios.
