About this Event
We’re thrilled to have bestselling author Ava Reid joining us on the 8th of August to celebrate publication of Lady Macbeth!
Brilliantly mining the dark magic at the heart of one of Shakespeare's most intriguing anti-heroes, this bravura reimagining of Lady Macbeth from the bestselling author of A Study in Drowning is steeped in witchcraft and deadly power games.
The Lady knows the stories: that her eyes induce madness in men.
The Lady knows she will be wed to the Scottish brute, who does not leave his warrior ways behind when he comes to the marriage bed.
The Lady knows his hostile, suspicious court will be a game of survival, requiring all of her wiles and hidden witchcraft to survive.
But the Lady does not know her husband has occult secrets of his own. She does not know that prophecy girds him like armour. She does not know that her magic is greater, and more dangerous, and that it will threaten the order of the world.
She does not know this yet. But she will.
Ava Reid is the Sunday Times and #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning, Juniper & Thorn, and The Wolf and the Woodsman. She has a degree in political science from Barnard College and lives in New Jersey.
Please note: the book and ticket option includes the exclusive edition Lady Macbeth (RRP £16.99) available for collection on the night.
