Celebrating people, ideas and entertainment, ‘Face to Face at The Arts’ offers an hour of candour, cocktails and comedy with arts broadcaster and literary festival favourite Fiona Lindsay in the host’s chair.

Prepare for an hour of candour as Fiona Lindsay talks to leading showbusiness names, revealing why they do what they do - and how they do it.
The Arts Theatre first opened in 1927 as a members only club for the performance of unlicensed plays. It was one of a small number of committed, independent theatre companies which took risks by producing a diverse range of new and experimental plays, or plays that were thought to be commercially non-viable on the West-End stage. Today The Arts upholds this tradition and the Face to Face series will help fund this independent and unsubsidised West-End theatre.The Arts Theatre is at 6-7 Great Newport Street WC2H 7JB.
Face to Face at The Arts tickets are £15. Call 0207 907 7092 to book or buy online at the below web addresses:

Join Sir Michael as he takes you on a tour of the most important cultural figures of the 20th and 21st century.

You’ll find out who Sir Michael’s all time favourite guests were plus what happened when he met Meg and what it’s really like interviewing an Emu.
Featuring interviews with Muhammad Ali, Billy Connolly, George Best, John Wayne, Sir David Attenborough, Nicole Kidman, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Goldie Hawn, Noel Gallagher, Tom Cruise, Robert Redford, Elle Macpherson, Madonna, David Beckham, Oprah Winfrey and Bobby Charlton plus many many more.
