Alex Wheatle BBC dramatisation

Steve McQueen’s much anticipated dramatisation of the award winning author Alex Wheatle’s life story will be aired this Sunday on BBC One at 9pm.

We were lucky enough to meet Alex Wheatle in person, when he visited EPHS in January of this year to perform for our Year 8 and 9 students. Everyone was transfixed and inspired by his story and even the most reluctant readers were clamouring to buy his books and meet Alex.

A selection of Alex’s books are available to borrow from the EPHS Libraries.
