SUMMARY:An Evening  with Michael Palin at Warwick Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:Best-selling author and comedy legend Michael Palin is going back on the road.\n10 years since his last published diary\, Michael unlocks volume four of his life and times\, from 1999 to 2009. As the centuries change and Michael heads into middle age\, he’s busier than ever. \nIn this new show\, with the help of rarely seen photos and video\, Michael brings these momentous times to life. \nHe talks through this latest Diary to take us backstage on this most productive decade of his life. Whilst always\, in the background\, showing us the wider world\, one of infinite possibilities and new and unimagined dangers. \nHe takes on four new travel series and a wide variety of documentaries\, from art and artists to the last day of the First World War. \nHe watches his family grow and expand at a time of ominous new threats and dangers. The Twin Towers fall\, bombs blast London\, banks collapse\, whole economies teeter on the brink. Tony Blair offers hope with the Good Friday agreement\, then embroils us in Iraq. \nMichael enters his 60s\, and finds grown-up responsibilities come his way. By the end of this diary\, he’s in his first year as President of the Royal Geographical Society. \nHis diary reflects his constant struggle against routine and repetition\, and his irresistible and often nerve-shredding attraction to new challenges. \nSome work\, some don’t\, but by the end of this volume he’s reached the retirement age of 65. And he’s planning a new journey. \nTickets selling fast here!

SUMMARY:February Book Club Q & A with Lottie Hazell
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our February Book Club with debut novelist Lottie Hazell. We will be chatting about her novel PIGLET – a deliciously dark and piercing novel of food and secrets! \nHer life is so full\, so why is she hungry? For Piglet – an unshakable childhood nickname – getting married is her opportunity to reinvent. Together\, Kit and Piglet are the picture of domestic bliss – effortless hosts\, planning a covetable wedding… But if a life looks too good to be true\, it probably is. Thirteen days before they are due to be married\, Kit reveals an awful truth\, cracking the façade Piglet has created. It has the power to strip her of the life she has so carefully built\, so smugly shared. To do something about it would be to self-destruct. But what will it cost her to do nothing? As the hours count down to their wedding\, Piglet is torn between a growing appetite and the desire to follow the recipe\, follow the rules. Surely\, with her husband\, she could be herself again. Wouldn’t it be a waste for everything to curdle now? \nReserve your space for book club with a £5 Book Token available on our website here or from the bookshop. \nPick up your copy in the shop or online – (use the code ‘BOOKCLUB’ to get 15% off!)
