About this Event
TICKETS REQUIRED
Tickets $15: Include a complimentary glass of house wine, beer or non alcoholic beverage plus a $5 voucher towards the purchase of THE ORIGINAL at this event.
Priya Parmar's propulsive, emotionally charged new novel explores the cost of fame. With sharp prose and unforgettable characters, The Original is a story of love, aspiration, and the price of living authentically.
Los Angeles in the early 1930s is a town full of secrets and Katherine Hepburn had plenty to hide. She is scooped into the studio system and launched as a star—but stars must play by the rules and Kate, brilliant, bisexual, and strong-willed, refuses to conform.
Priya Parmar is the author of the novels Exit the Actress and Vanessa and Her Sister, a New York Times Notable Book. She is also co-author of the musical Sylvia (London Old Vic), nominated for the Olivier Award for Best New Musical. She divides her time between Hawaii and Connecticut with her family and four rescue dogs.
