‘The Ghost Theatre’ Book Launch with Mat Osman
Join The Book Hive on Thursday 11th May for the launch of The Ghost Theatre, the eagerly-awaited, utterly transporting historical phantasmagoria from none other than Mat Osman!
Described as “Beautifully written and completely convincing” by The Observer, The Ghost Theatre conjures an Elizabethan London in which two worlds collide. Shay is a messenger-girl and trainer of hawks who sees the future in the patterns of birds. Nonesuch is the dark star of the city’s fabled child theatre scene, as famous as royalty yet lowly as a beggar.
Together they create The Ghost Theatre: a troupe staging magical plays in London’s hidden corners. As their hallucinatory performances incite rebellion among the city’s outcasts, the pair’s relationship sparks and burns against a backdrop of the plague and a London in flames. Their growing fame sweeps them up into the black web of the Elizabethan court, where Shay and Nonesuch discover that if they fly too high, a fall is sure to come…
Fantastical and captivating, The Ghost Theatre charts the rise and dramatic destruction of a dream born from love and torn apart by betrayal.
Mat will be in conversation with the Book Hive’s owner, Henry Layte, and will be reading from the book as well as answering questions, and of course signing copies.
Many will know Mat Osman as the bassist from the band Suede, and brother of publishing sensation Richard Osman, and we’re absolutely thrilled to play host to this launch — your chance to catch the great man in an intimate setting.
Thursday 11th May
The Book Hive, Norwich
Doors 6:30pm for a 7:00pm start*
£5 (redeemable against the book on the night)
Limited capacity — book a place now to avoid disappointment!
