‘She was an entertainment industry in the body of one woman’. Author and journalist Jasper Rees joins us at the New Adelphi Theatre to share the joys and challenges of commemorating the life of the Bury-born comedian in Let’s Do It: The Authorised Biography of Victoria Wood (2020).
Get ready to laugh and cry as Rees reflects on his journey to ‘place Victoria’s voice at the heart of her own story’ and continue her legacy through editing together previously unreleased material in Victoria Wood: Unseen on TV (2021).
Praise for Let’s Do It: The Authorised Biography of Victoria Wood:
‘Rees pulls off the trick of writing a brilliant tribute while also – somehow, almost – bringing Victoria Wood back to life in all her complicated glory.’ – Guardian
“I love this book. I adored Victoria, and Jasper Rees has almost brought her back to life, so I highly recommend it to all her admirers who miss her desperately. Which is, of course, all of us”. - Dame Esther Rantzen
This utterly absorbing and beautiful book, written with such insight and kindness, moved me hugely' - Julie Walters
Jasper Rees - Linktree
