Join us on Thursday 18th to kick off the Chelsea Arts Festival in style with a special in conversation event with beloved actor, writer, and director Rupert Everett. With broadcaster, journalist and podcaster Hannah MacInnes.
This wide-ranging talk will traverse Rupert Everett’s esteemed career spanning decades of acclaimed performances in film, television and theatre, as well as his distinguished work as an author and his latest literary offering, The American No. From his breakthrough roles that established him as one of Britain’s most compelling screen presences to his evolution as a critically acclaimed writer and director, Everett’s multifaceted career offers a fascinating glimpse into the worlds of entertainment, creativity, and storytelling.
In The American No, Rupert Everett takes us on an exhilarating journey with a cast of extraordinary characters, some familiar and some new. A blackly humorous story of a chaotic and emotional funeral in Paris. Oscar Wilde’s last night in Paris, vividly evocative, unflinching and elegiac. A middle-aged Russian countess who confronts sex and age in a Cotswold teashop. The ferociously unforgiving life of an L.A. talent agency and the unexpected twist that launches a completely different kind of career. The deathbed confession of a woman who left home for 1850s India, never to return. A story of emigration, love and grief. And a beautifully evocative and touching portrayal of Proust’s creative life and his childhood.
A brilliantly witty, funny and tender collection of stories that draws on the wealth of film and TV ideas Rupert Everett has created over the course of his career, The American No will delight and surprise his many fans.
