Simon Callow probes in comprehensive and penetrating detail into one of the most complex artists of the twentieth century. He looks closely at the triumphs and failures of an ambitious one-man assault on one medium after another – theatre, radio, film, television – even, at one point, ballet – in each of which his radical and original approach opened up new directions and hitherto unglimpsed possibilities.
His new book shows what it was like to be around Welles, and, with a precision rarely attempted before, what it was like to be him, answering the old riddle: whatever happened to Orson Welles?
The evening will feature two sets. The first part will be a talk by Simon Callow, and the second set will comprise of a Q&A session.
