RSL: Literature Matters
Watch event again now
This event took place on 17 May 2022
Live from the British Library theatre, a unique conversation will be held between acclaimed writer, director and RSL Fellow Armando Iannucci and award-winning journalist Marina Hyde.
Starting with their passion for great storytelling, Armando and Marina will explore their shared love of satire in fact, fiction, film and TV, in a conversation about why literature matters to them.
Take a break from Twitter and spend the evening with the writers we turn to when we’re overwhelmed by the 24-hour news cycle and need to laugh at the absurdity of it all.
This event was part of the LKN exhibition Breaking the News exploring the power and history of the news in the UK.
