Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2014 15:16:06 +0000 Autumn Season and Highlights We are delighted to announce an Evening with Martin Amis, the acclaimed author of two collections of stories, six works of non-fiction, and thirteen previous novels, most recently The Zone of Interest. Martin Amis will be in conversation with Gaby Wood, Head of Books at the Telegraph. There was an old story about a king who asked his favourite wizard to create a EFTA01154234 magic mirror. This mirror didn't show you your reflection. Instead, it showed you your soul — it showed you who you really were. But the king couldn't look into the mirror without turning away, and nor could his courtiers. No one could. What happens when we discover who we really are? And how do we come to terms with it? Fearless and original, The Zone of Interest is a violently dark love story set against a backdrop of unadulterated evil, and a vivid journey into the depths and contradictions of the human soul.

A homosexual, alcoholic, drug- addicted genius, Williams was raised in Mississippi, the son of a neurotic Southern belle and a hard-drinking travelling shoe- salesman. The most autobiographical of twentieth century playwrights, 'everything in his life', said Elia Kazan. 'is in his plays, and everything in his plays is in his life'. Their titles alone — A Streetcar Named Desire, The Night of the Iguana and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof - take us to the heart of a world of tense emotional truths and spiritual transformations. Tennessee Williams has found his perfect biographer in John Lahr, legendary drama critic of the New Yorker and author of Prick Up Your Ears: The Biography of Joe Orton. In what promises to be an unforgettable evening, Lahr will discuss the on and off-stage dramas of Williams, including his early breakdown Read more and book now 01.11.2014 - 02.11.2014 how to: Make a Film in a Weekend with Bartek Dziadosz Due to the popularity of this weekend, we're repeating it for the third time...
