Penny Woolcock’s feature films include her award-winning adaptation for Channel 4, of the John Adams opera The Death of Klinghoffer. Woolcock’s films are generally informed by a strong social conscience, and are much concerned with the social, cultural and political life on Britain’s toughest housing estates. From her first films When the Dog Bites, Shakespeare on the Estate and the features Tina Goes Shopping and Tina Takes a Break, Woolcock has been fascinated with the humour, invention and resourcefulness required to survive on the margins. Mischief Night, her third and final film in the Tina trilogy, was released nationwide in November 2006.
