SUMMARY:Kit de Waal
DESCRIPTION:‘I live with the dread that one day when my young muscles rebel\, can take no more stillness and the brutal confinement of my very self\, I will stand and strip naked and burst out of my skin.’ Without Warning and Only Sometimes is Kit de Waal’s memoir of a childhood of opposites and extremes. Raised in Moseley\, Birmingham\, with her siblings\, food was scarce. Their Irish mother worked multiple jobs and believed the world would end in 1975. Their Caribbean father’s paradise was home – St Kitts – and when he wasn’t splurging on fancy clothes and a car\, he was saving to build his dream house there. Eventually teenage Kit found a route that led to her becoming an award-winning writer. \nKit is the author of three previous books. My Name Is Leon won the Kerry Group Irish Novel of the year\, was shortlisted for the Costa Novel Award and has been adapted for TV by Lenny Henry’s production company. The Trick to Time was longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction. Hosted by broadcaster and Literary Editor Ellah P. Wakatama. Presented in partnership with the Centre for New Writing and Creative Manchester. \n\nTickets £10 / £8. Book on 0343 208 0500 or via ‘Book Now’ link below \n\n\n  \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Paterson Joseph in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:It’s 1746 and Georgian London is not a safe place for a young Black man\, especially one who has escaped slavery. So how does Charles Ignatius Sancho meet the King\, write and play highly acclaimed music\, become the first Black person to vote in Britain and lead the fight to end slavery? In his captivating debut novel\, The Secret Diaries of Charles Ignatius Sancho\, much-loved actor Paterson Joseph tells a story hidden for 300 years. An attempt ‘to correct the colour-balance that has allowed an historical distortion of British history to exist’ and ‘to add to the growing canon of Black Historical Fiction’ as entertaining as any of the revered classics. \nA star of stage and screen\, Paterson is best known for his roles in Casualty\, Peep Show and Green Wing amongst many others. He recently appeared in the BBC series Vigil and as Kamal Hadley in the adaptation of Malorie Blackman’s Noughts + Crosses. Hosted by broadcaster and Literary Editor Ellah P. Wakatama. \nTickets £12 / £10. Book on 0343 208 0500 or via ‘Book Now’ link below
