An Audience with Jill Halfpenny

Schedule

Fri Jun 21 2024 at 06:30 pm

Location

Stockton-on-Tees Libraries | Stockton-on-tees, EN

When Jill Halfpenny was four, her father died. He went to play his weekly game of five-a-side football, had a heart attack and never came home. In 2017, in cruelly similar circumstances, Jill’s partner Matt went to a gym class, suffered a cardiac arrest and never came home.
These two tragic events frame Jill’s story in ‘Life Reimagined’, as she explores dealing with grief as a child and teenager in comparison to her later journey as a partner and mother.
Jill is best known for starring in Byker Grove, Eastenders, and most recently, The Long Shadow. Jill will be in conversation with local writer Françoise Harvey.
