'Massively enjoyable' Dawn French I Carried a Watermelon is a love
letter to Dirty Dancing. A warm, witty and accessible look at how
Katy Brand's life-long obsession with the film has influenced her
own attitudes to sex, love, romance, rights and responsibilities.
It explores the legacy of the film, from pushing women's stories to
the forefront of commercial cinema, to its 'Gold Standard'
depiction of abortion according to leading pro-choice campaigners,
and its fresh and powerful take on the classic 'coming of age'
story told from a naive but idealistic 17-year-old girl's point of
view. Part memoir based on a personal obsession, part homage to a
monster hit and a work of genius, Katy will explore her own
memories and experiences, and talk to other fans of the film, to
examine its legacy as a piece of filmmaking with a social agenda
that many miss on first viewing. One of the most celebrated and
viewed films ever made is about to have the time of its life.
