Poly Stories

Some contributors have reflected generally on what The Poly means to them, while others focus on specific events, eras and developments. 

"Watching a film in those days was sometimes edge-of-the-seat stuff..." Michael Carver in 'A history of cinema at The Poly'

The stories have been arranged below into a playlist of loosely chronological order. Some are voiced by the contributor, others by actors, and they have been edited for clarity. You can listen right through from the start, or hop between them as you wish, either on the player below or on our Soundcloud page.

Thank you to all the participants who shared their stories, and the production team who put them together.
