Brilliant new events to get along to in the Autumn!

Sarah Waters 1st October Micheal Croft Theatre

A literary evening with best-selling, award-winning author Sarah Waters to celebrate the publication of her exquisite new novel The Paying Guests. Sarah will be in conversation with John O’Connell.

Very much a novel of two halves, with the tantalising promise that you want to read this before someone spoils you for what happens to inspire the change. After the First World War, Mrs Wray and her daughter Frances are compelled to take in lodgers to make ends meet. The tension between their genteel way of life and the modern "clerk class" mentality of the Barber's shake up the house in most unexpected ways.
A wonderful new novel from a master of her genre, the period detail is as every impeccable and the characters fizz delightfully off the page.

Book online at the MCT or pop in to the shop for a ticket!

Anthony Beevor 9th October Micheal Croft Theatre

International bestselling author and multi-award-winning military historian Antony Beevor will be discussing the research for his latest book The Second World War.
The Second World War began in August 1939 on the edge of Manchuria and ended there exactly six years later with the Soviet invasion of northern China. Beevor’s The Second World War focuses on the fate of the ordinary soldiers and civilians whose lives were crushed by the titanic forces unleashed in this, the most terrible war in history.
‘His accounts of the key moments in the Second World War have a sense of colour, drama and immediacy that few narrative historians can match’ — Dominic Sandbrook (The Sunday Times).

MCT online booking is here, or again you can buy a ticket in the shop.
