The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

The Whale

From director Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan, The Wrestler, Requiem for a Dream) comes The Whale, the story of a reclusive English teacher who attempts to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter for one last chance at redemption.

Featuring a BAFTA and Oscar nominated performance from Brendan Fraser, and based on the acclaimed play by Samuel D. Hunter, The Whale is an emotional character drama that challenges you to reflect on our own sense of self.
