An Evening with Armistead Maupin
Following several successful UK tours, bestselling, much-loved author and LGBT activist, Armistead Maupin, is heading back out on the road to celebrate the long-awaited tenth novel in the Tales of the City series- Mona of the Manor.
Maupin has been blazing a trail through US popular culture since the 1970’s, when his iconic and ground-breaking series Tales of the City was first published as a column in the San Francisco Chronicle.
