Stars including lead Max Harwood attend Everybody’s Talking About Jamie premiere at the Crucible in Sheffield

Cast members including Max Harwood and Lauren Patel took to the pink carpet ahead of a screening of the film that paid homage to Sheffield Theatres, who originally commissioned and staged the musical that the new film is based on.

The movie is inspired by the true story of Jamie and his mother Margaret Campbell - who attended the Sheffield premiere together - and follows Jamie New, a teenager in Sheffield who dreams of a life on stage as a drag artist.

Actor Max Harwood, who plays the titular protagonist, said: “Through drag you can learn to be creative and learn to express yourself without boundaries.”

The film was produced by Sheffield-based Warp Films and was shot in the city at locations such as The Moor, the Parson Cross estate, Endcliffe Park, Crookes, and Attercliffe.

The production stars Coronation Street’s Sarah Lancashire as Jamie’s mum, Margaret, and Lauren Patel as his best friend Pritti (Lauren Patel).

Local drag legend Miss Loco Chanelle (Richard E. Grant) mentors Jamie toward his debut stage performance.
