An Evening with Maggie O'Farrell
25 years since the publication of her debut novel, celebrate the author’s quarter-century of writing with a conversation about her life and career.
Maggie O’Farrell is one of the most loved writers in the English language. Her debut, After You’d Gone, marked the start of a career which has established her as one of the great storytellers of our times.
Her nine novels have explored disparate themes – from incarceration, madness and treachery to love, bereavement and loss – but they all share her masterful craft and inimitable prose, drawing readers deep into fictional worlds few can forget.
She has recently co-written, with Chloé Zhao, the screenplay for Hamnet. The forthcoming film will star Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley and will be directed by academy-award-winner Chloé Zhao (Nomadland). Hamnet has previously been adapted for the stage by the Royal Shakespeare Company.
