Barry Millington
Barry Millington On Wagner 2013 is the 200th anniversary of Wagner’s birth. Has there been a more challenging, revolutionary, flawed composer? His legacy is tarnished and phenomenal. Barry Millington, one of the most distinguished Wagner scholars of our time, takes us through a radical reappraisal of this most perplexing of composers.
Tony Hawks Transforming Words: A Journey from Book to Film Comedian, author and Radio 4 regular Tony Hawks takes us through the challenges of changing a book into a film. Illustrated with clips from the films made from his books ‘Round Ireland with a Fridge’ and ‘Playing the Moldovans at Tennis’, he will discuss the problems he faced and the solutions he attempted. Proceeds from this event will go to The Tony Hawks Centre for children with cerebral palsy in Moldova. Tony Hawks
