Join three generations of a remarkable family: legendary playwright Michael Frayn, novelist Rebecca Frayn, and her son and Michael’s grandson, filmmaker Jack Harries.
The author of two of the greatest plays of the 20th century – Noises Off and Copenhagen – and novels including Spies and Skios, Michael Frayn has led one of the most remarkable lives in English letters. One of only a handful of writers equally gifted and celebrated as a dramatist and novelist, Frayn’s work fuses comedy, philosophy, history, and human psychology to extraordinary effect; now aged 90, he is both a great national writer of our time and looks certain to become a canonical figure in European literature. His memoir Among Others not only explores his career at the epicentre of our cultural life but the many great minds he has met along the way.
An award-winning screenwriter, novelist, and filmmaker, Michael’s daughter Rebecca is the author of Lost in Ibiza, a new novel exploring a father-daughter relationship in the fraught context of the climate crisis. In this live, on stage event, Rebecca and Michael will explore their real relationship and share their insights into the art of storytelling with her son and Michael’s grandson, Jack Harries – who is himself renowned as a documentary filmmaker, producer and activist with a global following.
This exclusive intergenerational conversation is unmissable for lovers of art and culture everywhere.
Tickets to this event are half price for members to How To +, and members can also watch the livestream for free.
