Dates have been released for a Dorset-filmed movie's new tour of the county.

Lawrence: After Arabia is back on tour in May by popular demand.

The film's director Mark J.T. Griffin has already taken the film around the county and received praise from audiences. The film has now been seen around the UK by more than 5,000 people at many 'sold out' venues.

Again, for this tour, each screening will be introduced by Mr Griffin and followed by a Q&A.

The multi-award winning Lawrence After Arabia tells of the last years in the life of TE Lawrence and asks whether one of Britain's greatest war heroes was murdered by the British service or if he died in a tragic motorbike accident.

It stars Brian Cox as narrator, Hugh Fraser, Michael Maloney, Nicole Ansari Cox and Tom Barber-Duffy in the title role.

The tour concludes with a screening in the Cold War Hall at Bovington Tank Museum on May 19, which will be the 87th anniversary of Lawrence’s passing.

The venues and dates Lawrence After Arabia will be in tour in Dorset are:

Royal Manor Theatre, Portland, Monday, May 9 at 7.30pm.

Dorchester Plaza,Wednesday, May 11, 7pm.

Mr Griffin said: “We’re very excited to be coming back to Dorset for the tour – the screenings tend to elicit interesting discussions. Screening at the Tank Museum just down the road from Lawrence's home Cloud’s Hill on the 19th May will be awesome. It should be a great evening!”

The tour coincides with the release of the book Who Killed Lawrence of Arabia? which is said to provide evidence for the means, motive and opportunity for Lawrence’s death not being accidental.

The book will be supported by a documentary which will be made later this year but has been delayed by Covid. Copies of the “Who Killed…” book will be on sale at each screening.

May 19 will also see the release of the DVD, which includes the theatrical version of the film, trailers, music videos, rarities and extras. Pre-orders for the book and the DVD are at www.lawrenceafterarabia.co.uk/shop
