Onwards and Sideways is a film screening at Riverside Studios on 13 November 2026 at 15:00. The film tells the story of two individuals facing a Parkinson’s Disease diagnosis and explores their unexpected friendship.
Tony Evans is deputy head of a primary school. Emma Dretzin is a musician and composer, and single mother of two daughters. Neither knows the other. Until a startling encounter changes the course of their lives. On the same morning, these two are simultaneously confronted with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease. This film is the story of Tony and Emma - a friendship which unfolds unexpectedly. A story of humour and emotion, of challenge and bravado, of music and dance - transcending the assumptions of a little understood condition, and triumphing over the odds to find joy, release and love. A powerful, life-affirming British drama from Academy Award-nominated Director John Madden ( Shakespeare in Love , The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel ), Onwards and Sideways stars BAFTA Award-winner Rhys Ifans ( Inheritance , House of the Dragon ), Academy Award-nominee Laura Linney ( Ozark , Love Actually ), Monica Dolan ( Mr Bates vs The Post Office , Sherwood ), and Rory Kinnear ( The Diplomat , The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power ).
