In conversation with Gyles Brandreth

Dame Eileen Atkins has been a star of the American and British stage and screen for over six decades. In that time, she has won an Emmy, a BAFTA and is a three-time Olivier Award winner; her theatre performances include The Height of the Storm, Ellen Terry, All that Fall and she has appeared in television and films ranging from Doc Martin to Cranford to The Crown. Now, join her to celebrate the publication of her first autobiographical work, Will She Do? Act One of a Life on Stage, as she shares anecdotes about family, class, youthful ambition and big dreams, and what really goes on behind the scenes. In conversation with Gyles Brandreth, Atkins will tell the story of a girl from a council estate in Tottenham, born in 1934 to an electric-meter reader and a seamstress, who was determined to be an actress. Candid and witty, Atkins will take the audience from her awkward performances in working-men's clubs at six years of age as dancing ‘Baby Eileen', through the war years in London, to her breakthrough at thirty-two on Broadway with The Killing of Sister George, for which she received the first of five Tony Award nominations. With an eye for the absurd, a terrific knack for storytelling and an insistence on honesty, this is your opportunity to spend an entertaining and enlightening evening with the most wonderful raconteur.
