Larry Lamb talks to Alex Clark

All Wrapped Up

Hay Festival 2025, 

Join actor Larry Lamb renowned for his acting roles in the BBC soap opera EastEnders and the sitcom Gavin & Stacey to explore Larry’s brand new novel, All Wrapped Up.

Set amidst political turmoil on a Caribbean island. It follows the story of Killian Wilde, the first assistant director, who is determined to see his film through – if the chaos doesn’t consume them first. Between managing an impossible lead actor, navigating power struggles on and off set, and a crew member vanishing under mysterious circumstances, the production is at risk of falling apart. Blending sharp dialogue, rich behind-the-scenes detail, and the grit of a top-notch crew, All Wrapped Up is a compelling portrait of a non-blockbuster filmmaking under fire – where the real battle isn’t just on screen. Informed by his years of experience in film and television, Larry Lamb gives an inside look at the industry; the trials, tribulations, and hard-won successes of producing a piece of cinema.
