Tom Holland is a storyteller whose range and erudition seem to be as unbounded as history himself. Already a wildly acclaimed bestselling author when his chart-topping podcast The Rest is History made global superstars of Tom and his co-host Dominic Sandbrook, he is equally adept at transporting us through time to the fall of Saigon, the battle of Salamis, and even the age of dinosaurs.
Now he brings us closer than ever to the lives of the first twelve Roman emperors. The ancient Roman empire was the supreme arena, where emperors had no choice but to fight, to thrill, to dazzle. To rule as a Caesar was to stand as an actor upon the great stage of the world.
Celebrating Tom’s new translation for Penguin Classics of Suetonius’s Lives of the Twelve Caesars – one of the most influential works of history ever written – these live In Conversation events with guest interviewers including George Osborne and Martha Kearney will reveal the emperors’ shortfalls, lay bare their sex scandals, and show us their tastes, foibles and eccentricities in unmatched detail.
Don’t miss this chance to journey back to a time and culture at once familiar and utterly alien to our own guided by the greatest public historian at work today.
Tom will be in conversation with George Osborne at the Royal Geographical Society, Martha Kearney at the Grand Opera House, York and another special guest interviewer at Richmond Theatre.
Grand Opera House York
Not originally intended to be a theatre, the buildings that comprise the Grand Opera House York officially opened in 1902 with Little Red Riding Hood starring Florrie Ford. Since then it has been owned by FJ Butterworth, the Shepherd of Shambles and the India Pru Co. Ltd who spent £4,000,000 restoring the theatre to its former glory in 1987.
