CANCELLED - Due to unforeseen circumstances Andrew O’Hagan can now not be with us. Please get in touch with the TIC for a refund or a ticket swap on 01308 424901. SOLD OUT - Andrew O’Hagan - Caledonian Road
Andrew O’Hagan is undoubtedly one of the most exciting and serious chroniclers of our times. Born in Glasgow he has been nominated for the Booker Prize three times and his novels have won him worldwide critical acclaim. Caledonian Road is a sweeping Dickensian portrait of modern Britain in which nobody is let off the hook. Over the course of an incendiary year, a web of crimes, secrets and scandals reveals that privilege is not exempt from shattering exposure. This state of the nation novel exposes an unseemly clash of classes.

Daisy Goodwin - Diva
In the glittering and ruthlessly competitive world of opera, Maria Callas is known simply as La Divina: the divine one. With her glorious voice and instinctive flair for the dramatic, she was the toast of the grandest international opera houses. Raised in Nazi-occupied Greece by an exploitative mother, her rise to fame came at a price. Daisy Goodwin brings to life a woman with extraordinary talent, unremitting drive and natural chic that made her a legend. By confronting the heartbreak of losing her lover Onassis to Jacqueline Kennedy, Callas found her true voice. in conversation with Georgina Moore Priority booking - Become a Friend - Contact TIC Bridport to book tickets - 01308 424901When: Saturday 9th November 2024 @ 12 noon Where: Electric Palace Sponsored by: Emma Farquharson
