Following several successful UK tours, bestselling, much-loved author and LGBT activist, Armistead Maupin, is heading back out on the road to celebrate the long-awaited tenth novel in the Tales of the City series- Mona of the Manor.

Maupin has been blazing a trail through US popular culture since the 1970’s, when his iconic and ground-breaking series Tales of the City was first published as a column in the San Francisco Chronicle. The novel series has been taking the literary world by storm ever since and was recently adapted by Netflix into a critically acclaimed series, starring Laura Linney, Olympia Dukakis and Elliot Page.

Don’t miss the chance to join America’s ultimate storyteller in conversation with special guest host, Russell Tovey, as he recounts his favourite tales from the past four decades, offering his own engaging observations on society and the world we inhabit.

‘From the beginning, I resolved to create a tapestry large enough to encompass all of humanity.’ – Armistead Maupin
