‘Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.’

An evening with Rupert Everett and Simon Callow.

Acclaimed actors and directors Rupert Everett and Simon Callow are also terrific writers who share a common love and fascination for Orson Wells and Oscar Wilde. They talk about the pursuit of originality, the dullness of moderation, and the energy of wit. They reminisce on their years on and off stage and screen, and some of the people they met along the way. They delve into the motives for writing memoir and biography, fiction and film scripts and explore the need for solitude as well as company. A frank and very wry take on the careers of two unstoppable forces of the stage and screen.
