An Evening with Sancho... And Me?

From the venue:

Join the Fox Center for our inaugural Life/Story theme year event— a keynote with beloved British actor Paterson Joseph as he brings his debut novel to life!

"The Secret Diaries of Charles Ignatius Sancho: A Novel," named one of NPR's Books We Love, is a lush and immersive tale of adventure, artistry, romance, and freedom set in eighteenth-century England and based on a true story. How does a man born on a slave ship go on to meet the king, write highly acclaimed music, become the first Black person to vote in Britain, and lead the fight to end slavery?

In this dynamic presentation, Joseph gives voice to Ignatius Sancho's interior life, bringing this important historical figure into view while reflecting on his own upbringing in London and the many ways in which we render life as art.

Free tickets are available through the Schwartz Center Box Office online, by phone at (404) 727-5050, or in person.
