Adventures in the Screen Trade-Deborah Moggach
16th September 2017 @ 7:30 pm
£9
The internationally acclaimed Deborah Moggach, author of ‘THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL’ and ‘TULIP FEVER’ as well as 18 other books, will be telling the story of her life in relation to her success as an author. She has also adapted many of her novels as TV dramas and has also written acclaimed adaptations of other people’s work, including Nancy Mitford, ‘Love in a Cold Climate’, ’The Diary of Anne Frank’ and the film ‘Pride and Prejudice’, starring Keira Knightly, for which she was awarded a BAFTA nomination.
Now happily married and living in Presteigne, she will tell of the story of her Hollywood visits to Steven Speilberg , who originally bought ‘Tulip Fever’ and the bizarre experiences she witnessed there. The film was subsequently made by Harvey Weinstein and is due to be released in February, starring amongst others, Judi Dench.
The stories of life in Hollywood to the writings of her many novels, tackling family life, divorce, children and the confusions and disappointments of relationships, will fascinate listeners.
Deborah has had a rich and varied life and her talk will be full of amusing anecdotes and startling surprises, which one could only have believed would have happened in Hollywood and as her life as a famous author.
Huntington is extremely lucky to have her visit us and we can guarantee, there will be lots of laughter, great surprises and plenty of revelations! Frankly, this should not be missed. But once we have 65 people booked, we will regrettably have to close the booking procedure. We already have 34 confirmed bookings.
Please apply in the usual way, via: www.huntingtonchurch.co.uk or telephone Fiona Shone on 01544 370391. Price will be £9 pp including free wine and canapés in the party afterwards.
