The Conversation is a new series of talks bringing together an interview format, with an invitation for the audience to continue The Conversation the same evening in St Martin’s atmospheric Crypt afterwards.

Writer and actor Stephen Fry talks about the wars and peace, the equalities and dictatorships, the divine interventions and the earthly experience that he retells in his books Mythos, Heroes and Troy. He wonders at the meeting place of humane wisdom and artificial intelligence. Odyssey, the fourth book in his series about Greek myth, will be published in September. Chaired by Peter Florence.

The main talk takes place in the Church, followed by an informal discussion in the Crypt. The discussion is free to attend but you will need a separate ticket. This can be booked after you have chosen your ticket(s) for the talk. Capacity for the discussion is limited and tickets are therefore allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you cannot attend in-person, this talk will also be streamed live online. For tickets to watch online, click here.
