Come and celebrate the launch of The Actor and the Space, the new book by Declan Donnellan, founding director of Cheek by Jowl.

Join Declan in conversation with award-winning actor Adrian Lester as they discuss theatre, acting and performance.

Offering a bold new way of thinking about acting, The Actor and the Space tackles the fundamental questions that face any actor, and offers a universal set of keys to unlock the mysteries of performance. It is a fascinating distillation of Declan's work, developing and extending ideas first explored in his previous bestseller The Actor and the Target.

There will also be a preview of other exciting, upcoming projects from Cheek by Jowl.

The talk will be followed by a booksigning by Declan of The Actor and the Space. Pre-order your copy when booking your ticket for collection upon arrival, for the special event price of £13 (RRP £16.99) - copies will also be available to purchase at the event.
