Chester
Join us for an exciting double bill author event at Chester Lane Library! We are joined by North West authors, Jane Claire Bradley and Ashleigh Nugent. Ashleigh Nugent is a writer, performer and director at RiseUp, based in Liverpool. We will be discussing his debut novel, Locks.About Locks ‘1993 was the year that Stephen Lawrence got murdered by racists, and I became an angry Black lad with a “chip on his shoulder”’
Aeon, a mixed-up and mixed-race teenager from a leafy Liverpool suburb, is desperate to understand the Black identity thrust upon him. He grows dreadlocks and immerses himself in ‘gangsta’ rap. But Aeon’s journey of self-discovery is hampered by the fact that the only Black people in his life are his dad and his cousin, Increase.
Aeon’s ambition to find his place in the world takes him to Jamaica. Here, Aeon soon finds that smoking loads of weed, growing messy locks and wearing massive red boots don’t necessarily help him to fit in. Within days of his arrival he is mugged, arrested and banged up in a Jamaican detention centre. Seen as the ‘White boy’, he finds that his journey of self-discovery has only just begun – and he’s going to have to fight for the respect and recognition he deserves . . . Jane Claire Bradley is an award-winning queer, working-class writer, performer and educator living in Manchester. We will be discussing her debut novel, Dear Neighbour.Dear NeighbourFive strangers. Four weeks. One letter that will change everything… My debut novel tells the story of Alice, a single mum living in Leeds, her next-door neighbour Bill, a widower still grieving his wife’s death a decade earlier, and the other residents of their street. It’s a novel about surviving austerity, the power of community and found family, and the real definition of home. Jane says, for her, politics, identity, creativity and community have always been interconnected, and Dear Neighbour is a love letter to all those impacted by austerity and housing insecurity, and to the necessity of resilience, resistance and empathy. This event is part of New Writing North’s Northern Bookshelf. Books from both authors will be available to purchase on the night from our wonderful friends at St Helens Book Stop. TICKETS: £8, £7 (St Helens Library Card Holders), £5 (Concessions). Chester Lane Library - Free parking, ramp access, accessible toilet

Luke Evans in conversation 21st November Chester Town Hall | Chester Town Hall

Luke Evans in conversation 21st November Chester Town Hall Come join us for an exciting event with the talented actor Luke Evans at Chester Town Hall on the 21st of November! 21/11/2024 7:00 pm Thrilled to welcome Luke Evans, actor and singer for an in conversation event 21st November. Tickets are book and ticket admits one person Coupe tickets , two people admits one person From humble beginnings in a quaint Welsh mining village to the dazzling lights of Hollywood, much-loved star, Luke Evans, takes us on a poignant and inspiring journey that spans from the heart of Wales to behind-the-scenes of the biggest films of the last decade. Growing up in a small village in the Rhymney Valley, south Wales, Luke Evans’ early life was shaped by his Jehovah’s Witness upbringing. While most children of his age spent their Saturday mornings watching morning television, young Luke would dress in a suit and tie, joining his parents to knock on doors to spread the word of their religion. From an early age he felt different, but this feeling of displacement was not limited to his faith. As he came to terms with his sexuality, he faced a difficult and uncertain path, knowing that embracing his true self could lead to alienation from his community. In his poignant and tender account, Luke shares his bold decision to leave home – and religion – at seventeen to move to London where vibrant Soho scene captured his heart, invigorated his creative journey as an actor and opened a whole new world of opportunity. In finding himself, Luke also discovered his passion for singing, acting and performing. Starring first on the West End stages in iconic productions like Miss Saigon, Avenue Q and Rent, he quickly captivated the hearts of audiences and caught the eye of Hollywood’s elite, securing roles in blockbuster films such as The Hobbit, Beauty and the Beast and Fast and Furious, building up a huge and dedicated fanbase along the way. In this intimate memoir, Luke takes us behind-the-scenes of his career on stage and screen, showing a side to himself that he has never revealed before. Writing beautifully of the winding road he took to get where he is now, Luke’s story is a powerful tale of resilience, courage, and the pursuit to find a sense of belonging and identity. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Luke Evans is an award-winning actor and singer who began his career on stage, performing in London’s West End productions of Rent, Miss Saigon and Piaf before making his film debut in 2010. He has starred in the Fast and Furious franchise, J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit, Dracula Untold, The Alienist (earning an Emmy nomination) and as Gaston in Disney’s live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. On television he has starred in TNT’s The Alienist and alongside Nicole Kidman in Nine Perfect Strangers for Hulu and most recently starred in Apple TV+ Echo 3. As a recording artist, Luke has released two studio albums: At Last and A Song For You which hit the top five in the UK charts in 2022. Evans won the 2023 BAFTA Cymru Entertainment award for his musical special which aired on BBC 2 entitled Luke Evans: Showtime!
