Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World

You're guaranteed mischief and sparkle as this beloved LGBT literary salon returns for its 10th year, with Stella Duffy headlining. She reads from her new book, London Lies Beneath, at the first Polari at Southbank Centre in 2017. Inspired by real events, this is the story of three friends, and a tragedy that will change them forever. It is also a song of south London, of working class families with hidden histories, of a bright and complex world long neglected. London Lies Beneath is a powerful and compelling novel, rich with life and full of wisdom. Stella is an award-winning writer with 14 novels, 10 plays, and over 50 short stories published in 15 languages. She has twice won the CWA Short Story Dagger and twice won Stonewall Writer of the Year. She has worked in theatre for 35 years as an actor, director, playwright, and facilitator. She is co-director of Fun Palaces, the ongoing campaign for culture at the heart of every community. Joining Stella with readings from their latest works are Rosie Garland, Nathan Evans, Chris Chalmers and Ann Mann. Londons award-winning LGBT literary salon continues to showcase the best in emerging and established testimony to queer hearts and lives. Polari is curated and hosted by author and journalist Paul Burston.
