    • How Bristol boy Archie Leach became Cary Grant - the world's most famous film star.
    • See the places Archie knew and loved – his theatres and cinemas, hotels and restaurants, and the harbour – places that formed and transformed him and that he returned to for the rest of his life
    • Deeply engaging, entertaining, and threaded through with secrets and lies as enduring as Cary’s fame and his love for Bristol.
    • An extraordinary storey that’s funny (Cary didn’t always tell the truth), moving, and full of surprises, with a Big – and emotional - Reveal at the end.
    • Show Of Strength has told true stories on the streets where they happened since 2016 - and we tell them with care, intelligence, humour and flair.
