Michael Frayn (2015 Event)
With Matchbox Theatre, Michael Frayn has produced perhaps his most daringly unusual book to date. Blurring the boundary between the page and stage, the brilliant author and playwright has produced a book of thirty short entertainments that function both as stories and as micro-plays. Frayn is the author of novels including Headlong and Skios, and 17 plays including Copenhagen and Noises Off. Watch his event here, chaired by Sheena McDonald.
