Event 64
Jim Broadbent and Dix talk to Pete Jones
Fictions: The Idris File
– Meadow Stage
Comic artist Dix launches his first solo graphic novel, The Idris File, a historical thriller that reads like The Banshees of Inisherin meets Raiders of the Lost Ark. A young teenager discovers that his quiet seaside Welsh village harbours Nazi horrors beneath its dreary, overcast skies.
Dix and actor Jim Broadbent collaborated on the acclaimed graphic novel Dull Margaret. They have reunited for ‘Wrong’, an exhibition of sculpture and painting at The Table, a gallery in Hay-on-Wye. Dix’s paintings on original 1970s wallpaper capture his comedic half-memories and influences from that time, coupled with often disagreeable verse. Jim’s creations are influenced by his life in film and stage. Odd characters challenge the viewer to make sense of their peculiar predicaments in surreal theatrical dioramas.
Join the pair in this event as they discuss their curious art and influences with writer and filmmaker Pete Jones.
