In more than fifty years of film, television, and theatre, Olivier-award winning actress Celia Imrie CBE has solved crimes with Helen Mirren, terrorised Bridget Jones's mother, eaten worm sandwiches with Colin Firth, gone viral on Celebrity Traitors, and found time to write seven books. She lives between London and Nice. She doesn't fly. Which is, it turns out, how you end up with the best stories.
Jump on board with Celia as she celebrates the publication of The Elegant Hustler, journeying back in time to share the most memorable adventures of her life - riding ocean waves and iconic railways around the world. From tours across Australia with Glenda Jackson, Arctic quests in search of the Northern lights and chaotic cross-country journeys through Europe; to rolling through America's sweeping plains on Amtrak, glamorous voyages on the Queen Mary 2, and unforgettable trips on India's legendary trains.
Celia will be in conversation with her long-time friend and travelling companion Fidelis Morgan, because wherever these two go, stories follow. There will be the chance to put your own questions to the actress and novelist whose journeys might be long but are never dull. This evening will be a love letter to adventure, friendship, and the enduring joy that rewards curiosity.
