Ben Whishaw w(h)ishing on a (Bright) star.. geddit?!

To celebrate the release of the highly anticipated romantic drama Bright Star, out in cinemas on the 6th November, we’ve teamed up with Pathé to give you the chance to win a copy of the official soundtrack from the film. Woohoo, and all that jazz.

Here’s the scoop on the film: London 1818: a secret love affair begins between 23 year old English poet, John Keats (Ben Whishaw), and the girl next door, Fanny Brawne (Abbie Cornish), an outspoken student of fashion. This unlikely pair started at odds; he thinking her a stylish minx, she unimpressed by literature in general. It was the illness of Keats’s younger brother that drew them together. Keats was touched by Fanny’s efforts to help and agreed to teach her poetry. By the time Fanny’s alarmed mother and Keats’s best friend Brown realised their attachment, the relationship had an unstoppable momentum. Intensely and helplessly absorbed in each other, the young lovers were swept into powerful new sensations, “I have the feeling as if I were dissolvingâ€?, Keats wrote to her. Together they rode a wave of romantic obsession that deepened as their troubles mounted. Only Keats’s illness proved insurmountable.

For your chance to win this prize just answer this simple question:

What is John Keats famous for?

  • singing
