Portrait of a House

We are delighted to unveil 'Portrait of A House', a collection of poems by the esteemed Northern Irish actor and theatre director, James Ellis. This book, a homage to Ellis's cherished childhood memories, launches on Friday 15th March 2024, coinciding with what would have been his 93rd birthday. In the spring of 2000, as James Ellis's sister bid farewell to their family home of sixty years, he found himself grappling with a wave of nostalgia and creativity that inspired this heartfelt ode to the past. In 'Portrait of A House' Ellis invites readers into the family home, where the walls resonate with stories of joy, friendship, and resilience. Through vivid imagery and heartfelt prose, he recounts the everyday lives of his family and a cast of characters who passed through their doors, leaving indelible marks on his memory. With support from the Arts Council for Northern Ireland, The Linen Hall has curated a special edition of 'Portrait of A House', featuring an introduction by critically acclaimed writer and academic, Glenn Patterson, and a selection of unique family photographs. This edition is exclusively available for sale at The Linen Hall. This video, inspired by Ellis's poignant autobiographical poem of the same name , pays tribute to his remarkable life and career. From his early days growing up in East Belfast to a remarkable career in theatre, television, and film, Ellis's journey unfolds with profound emotion and nostalgia. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to those who contributed to the making of this video. Special thanks to Robina Ellis, James Ellis's widow; his son, Toto Ellis; Producer Claire Murray; actors Julia Dearden, Katie Tumelty, and Adrian Dunbar; and Senior Lecturer in History at Northumbria University, Connal Parr for their insightful contributions and sharing of reminiscences.
