Pete McKee talks about his new exhibition 'Frank & Joy - A love story'

Transcript

00:00 I'm overwhelmed by how it's all come together.

00:03 It's been a big effort from a lot of people to build this exhibition.

00:09 It's a piece of theatre and I've got someone who can build theatre sets to create this exhibition with me.

00:16 And to see it now come to fruition, it's blown me away.

00:21 So I'm hoping whoever comes to visit will just be as blown away as I am.

00:25 With this show, not only is it a collaboration with people building things,

00:29 some of my friends have been used as models within the show.

00:33 I used my sister and her husband to become Babs and Terry, the landlady of the Buffers Rest.

00:41 So I've been taken as Babs and Terry.

00:44 I had a professional photographer come in to take the photograph and mocked it up like it was a trade magazine article,

00:50 just to give some more authenticity to the actual show.

00:54 It's like my story with my love for Jay and my wife, so it's our story in a little way.

01:00 But it's also a story that hopefully is universal to everybody who comes to see the show,

01:04 not just Sheffielders but anybody, where there's that longevity and that love and that compassion

01:08 and feeling between people and trying to create that show.

01:12 But it's not just a love story between two people, it's also a love story about pubs

01:16 and how we as people use pubs and how important they are for our community.
