This Creative Life: Jane Horrocks & Christine Cort

This Creative Life - an encounter between Jane Horrocks & Christine Cort

Lancastrians Jane Horrocks and Christine Cort were born ten miles apart when Cartmel was part of Lancashire-over-the-Sands.

From her moving portrayal of the bulimic Nicola in Mike Leigh’s Life is Sweet, to the nation’s dippiest personal assistant, Bubbles, in Absolutely Fabulous, Jane Horrocks has captured the sadness and silliness of life.

Christine Cort was Time Out’s marketing dynamo in the glory days before going on to found the Manchester International Festival, an extraordinary gathering of creativity and optimism.

Two daughters of the red rose county return to their roots, a little older, a little wiser, and with tales to tell.
